Exchange rate during each president's tenure

Every president since 1991, ranked by how exchange rate changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

#	President	In office	Total	Per year	Chart
1	Joseph Kabila	17 Jan 2001 – 24 Jan 2019	+3,166% Dec 2000 → Dec 2018	+21.4%/yr
2	UDPS Félix Tshisekedi	24 Jan 2019 – now	+38.7% Dec 2018 → Oct 2026	+4.3%/yr

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out.
