Valuation Criteria
The BHD-PKR exchange rate is influenced by contrasting monetary policies. The BHD, pegged at 1 USD = 0.376 BHD since 2001 by the Central Bank of Bahrain, remains stable, tied to global USD movements and Bahrain’s oil-based economy. Fluctuations in oil prices and fiscal policies impact its value. Meanwhile, the PKR, managed under a controlled float by the State Bank of Pakistan, varies due to inflation, trade deficits, and reserve levels, contributing to its volatility.
Economic Impact
The BHD’s rise to 752.59 PKR carries significant economic effects. For Bahrain, a stronger dinar may improve the affordability of Pakistani imports like textiles, benefiting consumers, though it could challenge export competitiveness. For Pakistan, higher costs of Bahraini imports, particularly petroleum, might increase inflation pressures. However, remittances from Pakistani expatriates in Bahrain gain value, supporting local incomes, while exporters might face stiffer competition in Bahrain’s market.
Currency Overview
The Bahraini Dinar (BHD), introduced in 1965, is Bahrain’s official currency, divided into 1,000 fils and managed by the Central Bank of Bahrain. Pegged to the U.S. Dollar, it ranks among the world’s most valuable currencies, symbolized by “BD” or “ب.د”. The Pakistani Rupee (PKR), launched in 1948, is Pakistan’s official currency, overseen by the State Bank of Pakistan and split into 100 paisa (now obsolete). Denoted by “₨” or “Rs,” the PKR is widely used but prone to economic fluctuations.
