Interbank vs Open Market: What’s the Difference?
- Interbank rate is the rate banks trade at among themselves under State Bank of Pakistan supervision. It applies to imports, exports and remittances.
- Open market rate is what licensed exchange companies charge the public for cash. It is usually Rs1–3 higher than interbank.
- A large gap between the two signals dollar shortage and pressure on the rupee.
What Moves the Dollar Rate in Pakistan?
The main drivers are SBP foreign exchange reserves, remittances from overseas Pakistanis, export earnings, the import bill (especially oil), IMF programme reviews and debt repayments. A stronger rupee makes imported goods, cars and fuel cheaper; a weaker rupee also pushes up the gold rate in Pakistan.
Sending Money to Pakistan Safely
Always use banks, exchange companies or apps registered under the Pakistan Remittance Initiative; hundi/hawala is illegal and risky. A Roshan Digital Account lets you hold dollars and invest in Pakistan from abroad.
