The KPW/EUR pair shows how many euros one North Korean won buys, reflecting the won's value against the euro in a tightly controlled currency regime.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.

The KPW/EUR currency pair represents the exchange rate between the North Korean won (KPW) and the euro (EUR), indicating how many euros are needed to purchase one North Korean won. This directed pair is primarily of academic or analytical interest, as the won is not freely traded on global markets. An appreciation of the KPW means that one won can buy more euros, which is rare given the won's managed peg and limited convertibility.
The structural drivers of KPW/EUR are dominated by the monetary policies of the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the European Central Bank. North Korea operates a state-controlled economy with a fixed exchange rate regime, where official rates often diverge from black-market rates. The euro, by contrast, floats freely and is influenced by Eurozone interest rates, inflation, growth, and trade flows. Key factors include North Korea's economic isolation, sanctions, and limited foreign exchange reserves, while the euro is shaped by ECB policy, Eurozone economic data, and global risk sentiment.
Over the past several years, the KPW/EUR rate has been characterized by extreme stability in official channels due to state control, with occasional adjustments reflecting revaluations or devaluations of the won. In parallel markets, the rate has experienced significant volatility driven by geopolitical events, sanctions, and domestic economic pressures. Without access to real-time data, it is essential to understand that the official rate provides a distorted picture, and any analysis must account for the dual exchange rate system and the lack of transparency in North Korean economic data.
