About the US dollar and the Pakistani rupee

The Pakistani rupee (PKR) is issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). Pakistan follows a market-based exchange rate, so the dollar rate is set by supply and demand in the interbank market, where banks trade with each other.

Two rates are commonly quoted in Pakistan: the interbank rate and the open-market rate offered by exchange companies to the public. The figure shown here is a mid-market reference rate, so the rate you get at a bank or exchange company will differ slightly.

What moves the USD to PKR rate?

• Foreign exchange reserves: higher reserves at the State Bank give the rupee more support.
• Remittances and exports: dollars sent home by overseas Pakistanis and earned by exporters increase supply.
• Import bill: payments for oil, machinery and food raise demand for dollars.
• IMF programmes and external debt: loan inflows and repayments affect confidence and dollar liquidity.

Who uses the USD to PKR rate?

Freelancers and IT exporters paid in dollars, families receiving remittances from the Gulf, the UK and North America, students paying foreign fees and businesses importing goods all follow the dollar rate closely. If you earn in dollars, compare how your bank or payment platform converts to rupees, because their margins vary.

Why the rate you receive is lower

The mid-market rate is a reference point, not a retail price. Providers build their profit into the rate they quote and may add service fees or taxes on top. A “zero fee” offer with a poor rate can cost more than a small fee with a rate close to the one shown here, so always compare the final amount.
