| The US dollar is the closing interbank rate at 4:00 PM (PNG time). The rates for the other currencies are calculated by crossing the rate for the US dollar with the mid-rates of the currencies quoted at 4:00 PM in the Oceania and Asian regions.
The Kina traded as a fixed exchange rate from September 1975 to October 1994. Under this exchange rate regime, differences in the demand from buyers of Kina and the supply from sellers of Kina were met by the Bank of Papua New Guinea through its foreign exchange reserves.
On the 10th of October 1994, the Kina commenced trading as a floating currency. Operating under the interim Auction system, the Kina opened at 0.9200 and closed at 0.8605 against the US dollar. Under the floating exchange rate, the value of the Kina against the US dollar is set by the activity of commercial and retail buyers and sellers of foreign exchange.
