Karachi, May 3, 2025: The Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) held steady against the Pakistani rupee (PKR) in today’s trading, with the exchange rate unchanged at 916.48 PKR.
This stability reflects balanced currency flows between the two countries and underscores Kuwait’s robust economic standing as a leading oil exporter.

Analysts attribute the consistent rate to steady remittances from Pakistani workers in Kuwait and stable demand for the dinar in forex markets. Kuwait’s significant oil revenues bolster its currency’s strength, while Pakistan’s recent measures to stabilize foreign reserves have curbed major rupee declines.
The fixed Kuwaiti Dinar rate benefits Pakistani expatriates by preserving the value of their remittances. Businesses involved in Kuwait-Pakistan trade also gain from lower currency volatility. However, the strong dinar raises living costs for Pakistani workers and students in Kuwait when converting earnings to rupees.
Traders will monitor factors like oil price changes and Pakistan’s reserve management, which could influence currency values. For now, the steady rate ensures reliability for those handling transactions in these currencies.
About the Currencies
Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD): The world’s highest-valued currency, issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait. Pegged to a currency basket, it thrives on Kuwait’s oil-based economy.
Pakistani Rupee (PKR): Pakistan’s official currency, overseen by the State Bank of Pakistan. Its value faces pressures from inflation, trade imbalances, and external debt.
Experts recommend tracking global oil trends and Pakistan’s fiscal policies for potential shifts in the exchange rate. Currently, KWD-PKR stability provides short-term certainty for financial dealings.
