The Exchange Rate of the Tala is determined based on a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The currency basket is reviewed periodically to reflect changes in trade and payment patterns between Samoa and its major trading partners. As a result of the last review carried out in January 2018, the currency basket continues to comprise the currencies of the United States of America, New Zealand, Australia, and the Euro Countries. The weightings are based on Samoa's latest distribution of trade and travel transactions.
