Pakistan's external debt and import bill make USD/PKR highly sensitive to IMF programmes, energy prices, and dollar liquidity in emerging markets.

US Dollar (USD, $): The US Dollar is the world's primary reserve currency and the most traded currency on global foreign-exchange markets. It is the official currency of the United States.

Pakistani Rupee (PKR, ₨): The Pakistani Rupee reflects Pakistan's import-dependent economy and remittance flows from abroad. It is used in Pakistan.

Exchange rates respond to interest-rate decisions by central banks such as Federal Reserve and State Bank of Pakistan, inflation data, trade balances, and geopolitical events.

For USD/PKR specifically, shifts in capital flows between the United States and Pakistan, changes in commodity prices, and differences in economic growth rates all contribute to daily rate movements.

Over the past 30 days, USD/PKR traded between 277.59 and 278.80, with the pair losing 0.01% overall. The current rate of 278.49 sits above the 30-day midpoint of 278.19.

Historical context helps you judge whether today's rate is relatively strong or weak, but past performance does not predict future movements. Always compare the rate you are offered against the mid-market figure shown here.

Banks and card providers typically add a 1–4% margin on top of the mid-market rate shown on this page, plus fixed transfer fees. Before exchanging USD for PKR, compare the final amount you will receive — not just the headline rate.

For larger amounts, specialist money-transfer services often beat bank rates. For travel, prepaid multi-currency cards or local ATMs may offer competitive rates depending on your bank's foreign-transaction fees.
