The KGS/US Dollar exchange rate leans heavily on remittances, as money sent home by Kyrgyz workers abroad, mostly in Russia, is a major source of foreign currency. That makes the Russian economy and the ruble especially influential. Gold exports, particularly from the Kumtor mine, also support the som. National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic policy, inflation, and regional trade flows matter too, while economic shifts across Central Asia can move this currency.

Kyrgyzstan launched the som in May 1993, becoming the first Central Asian state to leave the Soviet ruble zone and issue its own money after independence. The word "som" means "pure" or refers to coinage in several Turkic languages. This move gave the young republic real control over its monetary policy.
