The ouguiya (Arabic: أوقية موريتانية (IPA:[uɡija]); sign: UM; code: MRU), at one time spelled "ougiya",[5] is the currency of Mauritania. Each ouguiya constitutes five khoums (meaning "one fifth").
The current ouguiya was introduced in 2018, replacing the old ouguiya at a rate of 1 new ouguiya = 10 old ouguiya, which in turn replaced the CFA franc at a rate of 1 old ouguiya = 5 francs.
The name ouguiya (أوقية) is the Hassaniya Arabic pronunciation of uqiyyahأُوقِية), meaning "ounce".
