This shift is being driven by the balance of foreign currency demand and supply in Pakistan’s domestic market.
SBP announces the closing interbank exchange rate for the forex every day, Monday to Friday.
This rate is used as a reference point in financial transactions involving these two currencies.
Surprisingly, the GBP to PKR rate in the open market is slightly higher than the interbank rate offered by banks and foreign exchange providers when customers purchase foreign currency.
This distinction adds to the interest of individuals wishing to trade currencies.
It is worth mentioning that all incoming remittances to customers’ bank accounts are credited using the SBP-set interbank rates. This ensures that all currency exchange transactions are fair and consistent.
