Dollar to PKR Movement

Expert Analysis and Outlook
Currency experts believe the USD to PKR trend will largely depend on Pakistan’s foreign exchange inflows, including exports, remittances, and any external financing. If inflows strengthen and global financial conditions ease, the rupee may see some stability in the near term. However, continued global uncertainty and high dollar demand could keep pressure on the PKR. For the Canadian and Australian dollars, analysts expect rates to remain mostly stable unless there are sharp changes in commodity prices or global interest rate policies.
