USD to PLN: The US Dollar is the primary reserve currency globally, making the USD/PLN rate critical for international energy prices and investment.
CHF to PLN: Many mortgages in Poland were historically denominated in Swiss Francs, making this rate particularly important for the Polish housing market.
// Approximate base rates relative to 1 PLN (as of recent averages)
// Example: 1 USD = 4.00 PLN -> rate is 4.00
// To store logically: Value of 1 Unit of Foreign Currency in PLN
var baseRatesInPLN = {
'PLN': 1.00,
'USD': 3.96,
'EUR': 4.32,
'GBP': 5.05,
'CHF': 4.45,
'CAD': 2.92,
'AUD': 2.60,
'JPY': 0.026, // 1 JPY = 0.026 PLN
'CZK': 0.17 // 1 CZK = 0.17 PLN
};

// Logic:
// We have rates in PLN.
// If converting From USD (3.96) To EUR (4.32)
// 1 USD = 3.96 PLN.
// 1 PLN = 1/4.32 EUR.
// Therefore 1 USD = 3.96 / 4.32 EUR = 0.916 EUR.
var rateFrom = baseRatesInPLN[from];
var rateTo = baseRatesInPLN[to];
var conversionRate = rateFrom / rateTo;
