USD/PKR Exchange Rate History
The Pakistani Rupee has depreciated significantly against the US Dollar over the past two decades. In 2001, 1 USD was worth approximately Rs 63.5. As of March 2026, the rate stands around Rs 280 — a depreciation of roughly 77%. This trend has major implications for overseas Pakistanis sending remittances, freelancers earning in foreign currencies, and anyone considering dollar-denominated investments.
Impact on Pakistani Investors
Currency depreciation means that PKR-denominated savings lose purchasing power over time. This is why assets like gold, USD-linked investments, and Naya Pakistan Certificates (which offer returns in foreign currency) have become popular among savvy investors. Use our Currency Depreciation Visualizer to see the full impact.
For Freelancers
Pakistani freelancers earning in USD benefit from the exchange rate, but need to plan their finances carefully. Our Freelancer Hub provides tax guides, PSEB registration assistance, and investment strategies optimized for variable foreign currency income.
For Overseas Pakistanis
