How Currency Valuation Operates

The QAR-PKR exchange rate is driven by supply and demand in the forex market, shaped by trade flows, remittances, and economic policies. The Qatari Riyal, pegged to the US dollar at 3.64 QAR per USD, benefits from Qatar’s natural gas exports. Conversely, the Pakistani Rupee, a free-floating currency, fluctuates with inflation, political shifts, and Pakistan’s foreign reserve levels, as noted by market analysts.

Effects on Pakistani Expatriates

For the over 125,000 Pakistani expatriates in Qatar, the QAR’s decline further reduces remittance values. A 1,000 QAR transfer, worth 77,290 PKR on September 27, now yields 77,260 PKR—a drop of 30 PKR and 130 PKR below June’s starting rate of 77,390 PKR. This reduction may strain family budgets in Pakistan for costs like education, healthcare, or daily expenses. However, expatriates earning in PKR or holding PKR savings may find Qatar’s imported goods slightly more affordable.

Currency Snapshot

The Qatari Riyal (QAR), launched in 1966, is Qatar’s currency, marked by QR or ر.ق. Pegged to the US dollar, it’s managed by the Qatar Central Bank and thrives in the Gulf’s vibrant economy.

The Pakistani Rupee (PKR), denoted by ₨, has served Pakistan since 1948. Managed by the State Bank of Pakistan, its value shifts with economic and political changes.
