Kuwait · Exchange Rate per US Dollar (IMF)

## What this measures

The official exchange rate of Kuwait's currency against the US dollar: national currency units per dollar, averaged over each month.

## Why it matters

The exchange rate passes through to import prices and inflation, sets the burden of dollar debt, and shows pressure on the currency.

## How to read it

Higher means the national currency is weaker (more units buy one dollar).

## What it does not say

The official rate. Where capital controls or multiple rates apply, the market or parallel rate can be far weaker.
