Kuwaiti Dinar to Pakistani Rupee Rate Today-May 12, 2025

Karachi, May 12, 2025: The exchange rate of the Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) against the Pakistani rupee (PKR) remained stable on Monday, holding at 916.95 PKR in the open market.

This ongoing stability indicates consistent money flows between Kuwait and Pakistan, reinforcing Kuwait’s robust economic standing as a leading oil producer.

Economists attribute this stable exchange rate to regular remittances from Pakistani workers in Kuwait, along with strong demand for the dinar in the foreign exchange market. The solid revenues from Kuwaiti oil support the currency’s strength, and recent measures taken by Pakistan to strengthen its foreign reserves have curbed drastic declines of the rupee.

The fixed exchange rate of the Kuwaiti dinar benefits Pakistani expatriates by preserving the purchasing power of remittances. Businesses involved in trade between Kuwait and Pakistan also gain from the decreased volatility in currency value. However, the high dinar increases the cost of living for Pakistani workers and students in Kuwait, as converting salaries to rupees leads to higher expenses.

Dealers will monitor factors such as oil price trends and Pakistan’s reserve management, as these could influence exchange rates. The fixed rate continues to offer a sense of security for traders engaging in transactions involving these currencies.
