currency from a specific year
Hello, could someone please let me know what the correct way is to indicate the year that is in the original phrase in the English translation. This is from a report on potential scenarios of public investment in agriculture in Paraguay. Translating from Spanish to UK English. (The customer uses the short scale and ISO currency codes.)
The original phrase is:
...inversión pública en infraestructura productiva equivalente a 0,25% del PIB (1 798 000 millones de guaraníes de 2014)
My take is: PYG 1.798 billion, at the 2014 exchange rate
Thanks very much in advance.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Patinba. I also thought that seemed to be the right way, but according to the client's style guide, we should use ISO codes (before the number) to express currency amounts, so I wasn't sure how to handle that. |

for the year 2014
Hello,
I think your take can work well taking into account the context. Another option could be "1.798 billion for the year 2014".
