Kuwait
Kuwait, located in the Asia region, is identified internationally by the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code **KW** and the alpha-3 code **KWT**. To reach Kuwaiti phone numbers from abroad, callers use the country calling code **+965**. The country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) **.kw** is used for domain registration and local web presence. In financial and business contexts, the Kuwaiti Dinar, abbreviated under ISO 4217 as **KWD**, serves as the official currency. These identifiers are essential for international telecommunications, website localization, and commercial transactions involving Kuwait. Understanding the distinctions between telephony, domain, and currency codes ensures accurate routing, registration, and financial processing for entities operating within or engaging with Kuwait.
