On June 18, 2026, commercial banks in Kyrgyzstan are reporting a trend where most currencies, except for the U.S. dollar, have depreciated. This indicates a strengthening of the dollar against the Kyrgyzstani som and other foreign currencies available in the market.
The data, sourced from the websites of commercial banks, reflects the rates for cash currency exchange at the time of publication. It is important to note that these rates are subject to change throughout the day. For official figures, the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan's exchange rate and the rates at Bishkek's exchange points are also provided as reference points.
