Kuwait City, August 1, 2025 – The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) has dipped slightly to 926.11 Pakistani Rupee (PKR) today at 9:38 PM PKT, down from 926.57 PKR on July 29 and 936.08 PKR on July 28.
This modest decline follows a period of strong gains through June and July, with the KWD rising from 919.67 PKR on June 10 to 922.06 PKR on June 13, 925.45 PKR on June 18, 926.79 PKR on June 24, 928.22 PKR on June 25, 928.32 PKR on June 26, 928.56 PKR on June 27, 930.44 PKR on July 9, 931.78 PKR on July 10, 932.18 PKR on July 11, and peaking at 938.23 PKR on July 22. Over the past 52 days, the dinar has gained approximately 6.44 PKR (0.70%), despite recent softening.
What’s Behind the Dip?
The KWD’s slight downturn today likely reflects a market pause after its recent highs, though Kuwait’s oil-powered economy, supported by steady global demand and substantial reserves, keeps the dinar a formidable force. In contrast, Pakistan’s rupee continues to face headwinds from inflation and trade imbalances, weakening its stance against the KWD. This minor pullback may stem from short-term market adjustments or profit-taking.

Impact on Trade and Remittances
For Pakistani workers in Kuwait, the dinar’s still-robust value means their remittances convert to significant rupees, helping families cover essentials like groceries or school fees. Today’s slight drop offers a small reprieve for Pakistani importers dealing with Kuwaiti goods, though costs remain elevated. Kuwaiti investors exploring Pakistan continue to benefit from the dinar’s strong purchasing power, potentially spurring cross-border investments. This subtle shift keeps the KWD-PKR exchange rate in focus for economic stakeholders.
About KWD and PKR
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), Kuwait’s currency, remains a global powerhouse, driven by oil wealth and prudent fiscal strategies. The Pakistani Rupee (PKR), managed by the State Bank of Pakistan, powers Pakistan’s economy but often struggles against stronger currencies like the KWD due to inflationary pressures and external debt.
