Karachi/Manama, April 23, 2025 – The Bahraini Dinar (BHD) edged higher against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) today, trading at 745.20 PKR, up from yesterday’s rate of 744.50 PKR. This incremental rise reflects ongoing fluctuations in the foreign exchange market, driven by economic factors influencing both nations.
Currency valuation is determined by a combination of supply and demand dynamics in the forex market, influenced by economic indicators such as inflation rates, interest rates, and trade balances. For Bahrain, a stable economy backed by oil revenues and a fixed exchange rate pegged to the US dollar (1 Bahraini Dinar = 2.65 USD) ensures the dinar’s strength.
Pakistan’s rupee, however, operates under a managed float, subject to market forces and interventions by the State Bank of Pakistan. Factors like export performance, remittances, and foreign investment inflows play a significant role in PKR’s valuation. The slight appreciation of BHD against PKR may stem from Bahrain’s robust fiscal position or a marginal dip in PKR demand.
1 BHD= 745.20 PKR
For Pakistani expatriates in Bahrain, who number over 100,000 and form a significant portion of the workforce, this shift has mixed implications. Many send remittances back home, and a stronger BHD means their earnings convert to more PKR, boosting their families’ purchasing power in Pakistan. For instance, a monthly remittance of 100 BHD now yields 74,520 PKR, compared to 74,450 PKR yesterday. However, for expats holding PKR savings or receiving funds from Pakistan, the cost of converting to BHD has risen slightly, affecting their expenses in Bahrain’s high-cost economy.
The Bahraini Dinar, introduced in 1965, is one of the world’s strongest currencies, reflecting Bahrain’s economic stability and its role as a financial hub in the Gulf. The Pakistani Rupee, in circulation since 1948, faces challenges from inflation and external debt but remains vital for Pakistan’s growing economy. While today’s minor shift in the BHD-PKR rate may not signal major economic upheaval, it underscores the interconnectedness of global markets and the direct impact on expatriate communities.
As both nations navigate economic pressures, market watchers anticipate continued fluctuations, with remittances remaining a key factor for Pakistani expats.
