The Central Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe mandates a fixed exchange rate regime between the Dobra and the Euro, establishing it as the reference parity for all foreign exchange operations. The specific fixed rate value and maximum intermediary commissions charged by authorized operators shall be determined through official Central Bank notices.
