Foreign exchange rate

1 Pakistani Rupee (PKR) = 100 Paise

Dollar-Rupee exchange rate

The Pakistani rupee depreciated against the US dollar until the turn of the century, when Pakistan's large current-account surplus pushed the value of the rupee up versus the dollar. Pakistan's central bank then stabilized by lowering interest rates and buying dollars, in order to preserve the country's export competitiveness
