The Central Bank of Kuwait has set Friday 18 April 2025 as the final deadline for exchanging banknotes from Kuwait’s fifth issue. Holders must exchange the notes in person at the Central Bank of Kuwait Banking Hall during official working hours, and any request submitted after the deadline will be disregarded. Exchanges require presenting the necessary documentation. The Banking Hall operates from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with reduced hours during Ramadan from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The deadline reflects the withdrawal of all fifth issue denominations from circulation under Resolution No. (37/405/2015), which provides an extended 10-year period for exchange at the Central Bank of Kuwait only and specifies that no exchange is allowed after 18 April 2025.
