Karachi- May 2, 2025: The Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) maintained its stability against the Pakistani rupee (PKR) in today’s trading, with the exchange rate remaining unchanged at 916.48 PKR.
This consistency comes amid balanced currency flows between the two nations and reflects Kuwait’s strong economic position as a major oil exporter.
Market analysts attribute the stable rate to multiple factors, including steady remittance flows from Pakistani workers in Kuwait and consistent demand for the dinar in foreign exchange markets. Kuwait’s substantial oil revenues continue to support its currency’s strength, while Pakistan’s recent efforts to stabilize its foreign reserves have helped prevent significant rupee depreciation.
The steady Kuwaiti Dinar exchange rate provides relief to Pakistani expatriates sending money home, ensuring their remittances maintain purchasing power. Importers and businesses engaged in Kuwait-Pakistan trade also benefit from reduced currency risk. However, the strong dinar continues to make living expenses higher for Pakistani workers and students in Kuwait when converting their earnings into rupees.
Market participants will be watching for any developments that could affect currency values, particularly fluctuations in oil prices and Pakistan’s ability to maintain its foreign exchange reserves. For now, the stability offers predictability for individuals and businesses conducting transactions between the two currencies.
