Why This Rate Matters
The dollar rate directly impacts daily life in Pakistan. Importers pay more when the rupee is weak, which increases prices of goods like petrol, electronics, and food. Exporters, however, often benefit because they receive more rupees for their products sold abroad. For overseas Pakistanis, even a small change in the USD to PKR rate can mean thousands of rupees difference in remittances sent home.
Other factors such as inflation, global oil prices, Pakistan’s trade balance, and foreign reserves also affect the rupee’s value.
Conclusion
As of 26 September 2025, the USD to PKR rate ranges between PKR 282.91 and PKR 285.77, depending on whether you use the interbank or open market. Since these rates can change multiple times a day, always check live updates before exchanging money or making international payments. Staying updated helps individuals and businesses save money and plan wisely.
