The Pakistani rupee has been gradually strengthening since the start of 2026, reversing some of the depreciation seen in the previous year. The rise against the USD and other major currencies indicates growing investor confidence, aided by remittances, foreign direct investment, and strategic economic measures by the State Bank of Pakistan. The PKR’s ongoing appreciation trend against the USD and other currencies marks a significant milestone for Pakistan’s financial markets. Analysts expect the rupee to maintain relative stability if economic policies and foreign inflows continue to support the currency.
