The Somaliland Shilling was one of the few African currencies to gain on the US dollar. This is a remarkable achievement as this region is not known for stable currencies.
Ethiopia for example has an inflation rate of 19%. You then have eye-watering levels in the Puntland region of Somalia at around 50%, 3rd highest in Africa after Zimbabwe and Sudan.
In this light, Somaliland is doing such a commendable job, even without access to proper financial instruments.
