About the Zambian Kwacha to US Dollar rate
This page converts the Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) into the US Dollar (USD) at the mid-market rate. Both currencies trade continuously on the foreign exchange market, and the ratio between them moves with interest rates, inflation and the trade flows between their economies. The rate shown here is the neutral reference each bank, card network and bureau de change then builds its own price on top of.
Every figure on this page is a mid-market reading of ZMW/USD, dated above. It says where the pair stood at that time, not where it is heading: no rate here is a forecast, a quote, or an offer to exchange.

Why does the ZMW to USD rate keep changing?
