PLN/HKD: what to know
The PLN/HKD rate shows how much HKD you get for 1 PLN. Right now, 1 PLN buys 2.1057 HKD at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 HKD is worth 0.4749 PLN.
In the short term PLN is driven mainly by NBP policy, EU flows and regional sentiment, while HKD responds to its peg to the US dollar.
The Polish Zloty (PLN) is issued by National Bank of Poland (NBP). “Złoty” literally means “golden”, a name dating back to medieval gold coins. The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is issued by Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Most banknotes are issued by three commercial banks, not a central bank.
Over the past 12 months the PLN/HKD rate has ranged between 2.0592 and 2.2227 — a change of -2.27% versus a year ago.
For anyone in Poland, this is the mid-market reference to compare against your bank or kantor before exchanging. Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
