In Pakistan, exchange rates influence the value of the rupee compared to major currencies like the US dollar and UAE dirham. A stronger exchange rate makes imports cheaper and helps control inflation, while a weaker rate can boost exports. For overseas Pakistanis, currency exchange is essential for sending remittances. Keeping track of exchange rates supports informed decisions in business, travel, and economic planning.
