Dollar Goes Up Pakistani Rupee Falls – Check Today’s Latest Rates
People often ask: “Is the US dollar getting stronger or weaker against the Pakistani Rupee lately?” Let’s look at recent data and understand the trend.
Current USD → PKR Rate
- As of today, 1 USD = 282.92 PKR (interbank rate)
- In the open market, it’s about 282.5 PKR for 1 USD.
So, the dollar is relatively high against the rupee now.
Trend Over Last 7 Days & Last 30 Days
Here’s a simplified table showing how the dollar has moved:
| Period | Approx High | Approx Low | Trend / Change | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last 7 days | ~ 281.85 PKR | ~ 281.49 PKR | Slight fall | Dollar was almost flat, small dip. |
| Last 30 days | ~ 283.80 PKR | ~ 281.72 PKR | Slight decline | Rupee strengthened a little in this period. |
From this, we see:
- Over the last week, the rate was very stable, with only a small downward movement.
- Over 30 days, the dollar’s peak was about 283.80 PKR, and its low was 281.72 PKR, so the rupee gained some ground in that period.
Is the Dollar Up or Down?
- Compared to a month ago, the dollar has fallen slightly (rupee got a bit stronger).
- Compared to a week ago, dollar is nearly the same, with a tiny drop.
So overall: the dollar is a little weaker now than 30 days ago, but in the short term (7 days), it’s mostly stable.
Why These Changes Happen
A few common factors cause dollar/rupee rate shifts:
- Foreign reserves & imports – When Pakistan’s reserves drop or imports are high, demand for USD rises, pushing it up.
- Remittances & exports – More foreign earnings help strengthen PKR.
- Inflation & interest rates – Higher inflation in Pakistan depreciates PKR; central bank policies matter.
- Market sentiment & speculation – Traders reacting to news can push rate up or down.
- Crackdowns & regulation – The government recently cracked down on black-market dollar trade to stabilize the currency.
Simple Example
If 30 days ago 1 USD = 283.50 PKR, and now 1 USD = 282.92 PKR, the dollar lost 0.58 PKR in value versus the rupee. That means the rupee got a bit stronger relative to the dollar.
