Different rates on different currencies don't add up

I'm a little confused. I'm looking at some deposit rates of a foreign bank in an underdeveloped country and I don't understand how they've decided on the interest rates lol

1 EURO = 19.33 of currency X

  • The deposit interest rate for currency X is 15.5%
  • The deposit interest rate for Euro is 2% 

If I deposit 100.000 worth of currency X (=5.175 EUR), I end up with 115.500 X (= 5.949 EUR).

If I deposit 5.175 EUR, I end up with 5.278 EUR.

TF are they doing? Or is this normal in countries where they can print their own currency but not Euro?
