Related Data

What is INR (Indian Rupee)?

A managed float, not pegged to any other currency - the RBI lets the market set its value but occasionally buys or sells dollars to smooth out sharp swings.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: INR
  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is KYD (Cayman Islands Dollar)?

Pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed 1 KYD = 1.20 USD since 1974 - one of the few currencies in the world worth more per unit than the dollar it's pegged to.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: KYD
  • Symbol: $
  • Subunit: 100 cents = 1 dollar
  • Issued by: Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA)

Why Does the INR/KYD Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/KYD rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • The USD peg itself - KYD is fixed at 1 KYD = 1.20 USD since 1974, so INR/KYD moves almost in lockstep with INR/USD, scaled by that ratio.
  • Everything that moves INR/USD (Fed policy, crude oil prices, FII flows, India's trade deficit, RBI intervention) therefore also moves INR/KYD.
  • Offshore financial services, the Cayman Islands' dominant economic sector and foreign currency source.
  • The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority's reserve management, which underpins the peg.
  • India-Cayman Islands trade is minimal given geographic distance and the small size of the Caymanian economy.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors - since the peg holds, essentially all of this pair's real movement traces back to the rupee side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Cayman Islands Dollar worth more than the US Dollar?

It's simply how the currency was denominated when the peg was set in 1974 (1 KYD = 1.20 USD), a historical design choice, not a sign of the Cayman Islands having a larger or stronger economy than the United States.

Is the Cayman Islands Dollar pegged to the US Dollar?

Yes, at a fixed 1 KYD = 1.20 USD since 1974. Because of that, INR/KYD moves almost entirely in step with INR/USD, just scaled by that ratio.

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
