About KWD to LKR
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is the currency of Kuwait. The rate on this page is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's daily indicative rate: the number of Sri Lankan rupees for 1 KWD, published once each business day. When the number rises, the rupee has weakened against the Kuwaiti Dinar; when it falls, the rupee has strengthened.

- Why is my bank's KWD rate different?
- Banks quote a buying rate (what they pay you for KWD) and a selling rate (what they charge you) either side of the indicative rate, and the gap differs by bank and by whether it is a telegraphic transfer, cash or a draft. Check the bank's own rates before you transact.
