QAR to PKR- Daily Updates

This ongoing softening reflects a shift from recent highs, though Qatar’s energy-driven economy maintains stability in calm market conditions.

The QAR has experienced fluctuations over recent weeks. It traded at 77.39 PKR on August 30, 77.44 PKR on August 23, 77.47 PKR on August 16, 77.88 PKR on August 12, 77.42 PKR on August 9, 77.80 PKR on August 4, and 77.72 PKR on August 1. Earlier rates included 77.74 PKR on July 29, 78.01 PKR on July 26, a peak of 78.26 PKR on July 19, 78.16 PKR on July 23, 78.03 PKR on July 16, 78.02 PKR on July 9, 77.94 PKR on July 2, and a June 2025 close at 77.86 PKR.

How Currency Valuation Operates

The QAR-PKR exchange rate is shaped by supply and demand in the forex market, driven 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 77,160 PKR on September 20, now yields 77,290 PKR—a drop of 130 PKR from September 20, though still 100 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.
