Why the Dollar Rate Matters for Pakistan
- For Families: Overseas remittances are a lifeline for many households. Even a one-rupee increase per dollar means thousands extra for families receiving money.
- For Businesses: Importers pay more when the dollar strengthens, which affects product prices. Exporters, however, may earn more rupees per dollar.
- For Students and Travelers: Tuition fees, visa payments, and foreign travel costs directly rise with dollar appreciation.
- For Government: Debt repayments and oil imports become expensive when PKR loses value.
Factors Affecting Dollar Rate in Pakistan
Several elements influence the daily dollar rate in Pakistan:
- Foreign Exchange Reserves: When SBP reserves fall, the rupee comes under pressure.
- Inflation & Imports: High demand for imported goods increases USD demand.
- Oil Prices: Rising oil bills push dollar requirements up.
- Remittances: Strong inflows help stabilize PKR.
- Government and SBP Policies: Crackdown on illegal hundi/hawala and official interventions impact open market rates.
