The Tala Samoa

The case investigates the foreign exchange exposure of microfinance institutions and assesses hedging policies for these exposure in those jurisdictions with fixed foreign exchange arrangements and without derivative financial instruments. A West Samoa-based MFI, borrowing in various major currency pairs such as the US and New Zealand dollars, is concerned about the added variableity of its monetary flow due to unforeseen exchange rate movements and wants to examine hedging policies for this exposure in the lack of a derivative for the Samoan Tala.

The Chairman of the Board believes that taking out loans in different foreign exchange rates, in proportion to the weighting of the various foreign exchange rates in the shopping cart, would help to mitigate the foreign exchange risks. It wants to assess the precise weighting of exchange rates in the bucket block and use this approach to assess the level of foreign exchange risks.

137) Samoa Currency & Coinage: talah (means "dollar") and senen (means "cent"):

Samoa Currency & Coinage: talah (means "dollar") and senen (means "cent"): Samoa (or "Malo Sa'oloto Tuto'atasi o Samoa" in Samoan) is an independent state located in the western part of the Samoan Isles in the South Pacific. Samoa's two major isles are Upolu and Savai'i, making it one of the largest of Polynesia's isles.

Samoa by Jacob Roggeveen, a discoverer from the Netherlands, was found in 1772. Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, the discoverer of France, followed him and dubbed the Samoan navigator of Iceland because of its nautical abilities. This tripartite treaty of 1899 divided the Samoan Isles into two parts - the archipelago to the east became the American-Samoa.

This much bigger western archipelago became known as "German Samoa" after Great Britain had traded its right to these archipelagos for the denunciation of Germany's right in Tonga, some areas in the Solomon Isles and West Africa. Although the group of Samoan isles was governed by an Indian empire, Germany and the USA terrorized the country's sovereign and divided the isles.

East Samoa continues to remain under US domination. 1914, at the beginning of World War I, Germany or Western Samoa was taken by New Zealand and New Zealand was given a reigning authority under the League of Nations. Between 1914 and 1967, the British pounds were the main source of income in Western Samoa.

After the New Zealand invasion of Deutsch Samoa (or Western Samoa), the British pounds substituted the Deutsch Mark as the territorial reserve's official reserveling. The first temporary New Zealand occupying power banknotes in the form of Bank of New Zealand 1 and 5 pounds of bank of banknotes were put into circulation in 1915.

Overprinting of ten Schilling banknotes of the Banque of New Zealand was put into circulation in 1920. Treasury bills worth 10 schillings, 1 and 5 lbs. spent "by the New Zealand government" were put into circulation in 1922. The Treasury notes were in issue until 1961, when the West Samoa Central Banks took charge of controlling and supervising the notes.

Since 1934 the circulation embossing of Western Samoa became mainly New Zealand embossing. Westsamoa, which until then had been under this remit, was given autonomy in 1962. The same year, striking mints were launched on the basis of the "tala" (a regional variant of the term "dollar"), divided into 100 "sene" (a regional variant of the term "cent").

On the front was the Malietoa Tanumafili II. from the line of the former Samoan monarch. There were motifs of various fruit found in Samoa on the backs. Westsamoa has published several memorial medals since 1969, among them the Queen's Anniversary and the Commonwealth & Olympic Games and regional sagas such as Robert Louis Stevenson (popular as "Tusitala" or "the narrator of stories") and the German Governor Dr. Wilhelm Solff, as well as a 2-cent medallion to commemorate the twenty-first cent, among others with an FAO-themed.

Samoa's Central Bank (or "Faletupe Tutotonu and Samoa ", in Samoan "Central Bank" or "Central Money House" of Samoa) is located in Apia, the Samoa capitol. Samoan Tala " is the Samoan central bank's official reserve fund. Prior to 1962, the Bank of New Zealand gave out a British pound, shilling and penny denomination to the New Zealand government for orbit in Samoa.

When Samoa became independent of New Zealand in 1962, the money was first spent by the Samoa Group. It was a merchant banking institution, like the BNZ, which was partly held by the Samoan government and conducted monetary transactions and policies on government orders.

The tala (meaning "dollar") was launched in 1967, each tala being split into 100 senes (meaning "cent"). Up to this point Samoa used the British pounds, with New Zealand and Samoa currencies monitoring its own banknotes. In the same year New Zealand also decimalised its currencies. The Tala at that point was replacing the British pounds at an exchangerate of 2 Tala to 1 British pounds and was equivalent to the New Zealand greenback until 1975.

The government of Samoa in 1974 delegated the oversight, rotation and issuance of the Euro to a recently formed Western Samoa Exchange Commission through the United Nations Military Board of Western Samoa Act. The Central Bank of Samoa was created in 1984 by the Law on the Central Bank of Samoa to manage Samoa's central bank's money management and other authority.

The Central Bank's function was extended in 1996 by the Act on Banks to include the authorisation and prudential oversight of banks. Until 1997 the Tala was symbolized by "WS$", when the former name of the land "West Samoa" was replaced by "Samoa". After 1997, the icons "SAT" (Samoan Tala), "ST" (Samoan Tala) and "T" (Tala) were also used.

The Central Bank's function was extended to the prevention of money laundering in 2000. First and foremost, the Central Bank is obliged to comply with the monetary needs of the general population and to ensure that sufficient quantities and high levels of stock of all notes and coins are available to satisfy users' transaction needs.

It is also an offense to disfigure banknotes by means of letter, stamp or deletion, which would alter their properties. Disfiguring banknotes will result in a maximum of $10. Samoa's central bank is continually developing new safety characteristics that are hard to copy but simple to use, and is raising users' consciousness of detecting fake currencies, if any.

The forgery of counterfeited tokens is subject to a custodial sentence of up to 7 years and the placing on the market of a counterfeited tokens is subject to a custodial sentence of up to 6 month.
