Converting from Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) to Indian Rupee (INR)

What is Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS)

The Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) is the official currency of Kyrgyzstan, a landlocked country situated in Central Asia. The currency was introduced in 1993, following the nation's independence from the Soviet Union. The name "som" means "pure" in Kyrgyz, symbolizing the goal of having a reliable and stable currency.

The Kyrgyzstani Som is subdivided into 100 tyyn, although coins in tyyn are not widely used and are often considered obsolete in daily transactions. The som is denoted by the symbol "с" or sometimes "KGS" in international trading contexts. The currency is issued by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, which monitors its stability and circulation.

As an emerging economy, Kyrgyzstan relies heavily on remittances from its citizens working abroad and trade with neighboring countries. Consequently, the value of the Kyrgyzstani Som can be influenced by various factors, including inflation rates, political stability, and economic policies. Because of these factors, the exchange rate against other currencies, such as the Indian Rupee (INR), fluctuates frequently.

What is Indian Rupee (INR)

The Indian Rupee (INR) is the official currency of India, one of the world's largest economies and the second-most populous country. The rupee is further subdivided into 100 paise. The symbol for the Indian Rupee is "₹", and it is widely used in trade both domestically and internationally.

The Indian Rupee has a rich history that dates back to ancient times, with various forms of currency existing before the modern rupee was established in 1540 during the reign of Sher Shah Suri. The Reserve Bank of India is responsible for issuing and managing the currency, ensuring its stability and availability in the economy.

The exchange rate of the Indian Rupee is affected by several factors, including inflation, interest rates, and economic performance relative to other countries. India’s growing economy, led by sectors such as technology, agriculture, and manufacturing, influences the strength of the Indian Rupee.
