Know your customer (KYC)
The set of identity checks a regulated financial firm must run before letting you trade, deposit, or withdraw. Know Your Customer rules exist to stop money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and sanctions evasion, and they are why a broker or crypto exchange asks for your passport, proof of address, and sometimes a live selfie before your account goes fully active. The requirement flows from anti-money-laundering law and, for many firms, from banking partners who will not touch a business that cannot show who its customers are.
For the user it is friction, occasionally a lot of it, and a real privacy trade-off. For the institution it is a regulatory requirement; skip it and the fines, or the loss of a banking relationship, can be existential. KYC usually pairs with ongoing monitoring, so an account flagged for unusual activity may be subject to additional verification.
Example: A new trader signs up with an FX broker and funds the account, then finds her withdrawal is restricted until she completes KYC by uploading a government ID and a recent utility bill so the firm can confirm her name and address match the account.
Known-unknowns
Risks or uncertainties that are recognised but cannot be quantified or accurately predicted.
KOF Economic Barometer
A closely watched leading indicator for the Swiss economy, published monthly by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at ETH Zurich. Rather than measuring what has already happened, the barometer is designed to point ahead, providing an indication of the likely direction of Swiss GDP growth over the coming months. It is a composite, aggregating a large basket of individual indicators spanning areas such as manufacturing, construction, banking, and consumption into a single headline figure. The reading is calibrated so that a level around 100 represents the long-run average pace of growth; a print above 100 suggests the economy is set to run hotter than trend, while below 100 suggests a slowdown ahead. It has been produced in some form since the 1970s, which gives it a long track record for analysts trying to assess the Swiss cycle. Anyone trading the franc or Swiss assets may monitor it. Example: The KOF barometer climbs back above 100 after several soft months, and a franc trader interprets the improving figure as an indication that the Swiss economy may be regaining momentum heading into the next quarter.
Kondratieff wave
A long-term economic cycle lasting approximately 50-60 years.
Krone
The currency of Denmark (DKK) and Norway (NOK).
Kuwait Dinar (KWD)
Consistently the highest-valued currency unit in the world, the Kuwaiti dinar routinely trades north of three US dollars, a quirk that surprises people who assume the dollar or the pound sits at the top of the pile. That high nominal exchange rate is not a sign that Kuwait’s economy is larger, only a reflection of how the unit was set and has been maintained; it comes from the peg and Kuwait’s vast oil wealth, alongside other economic factors, not from any everyday purchasing-power magic. The dinar carries the ISO code KWD and is managed by the Central Bank of Kuwait, which pegs it to an undisclosed basket of currencies rather than to the dollar alone, giving the authorities a little more flexibility than the pure dollar-peggers elsewhere in the Gulf. Because oil dominates state revenue, the currency’s real backdrop is ultimately an energy story. Example: A traveller changing money is startled to find that one Kuwaiti dinar buys more than three dollars, and a trader explains that the high headline value stems from how the dinar was pegged decades ago, not from it being three times as useful as a buck.
