Who is Affected by GBP to PKR Rate?
1. Overseas Pakistani Workers in the UK
Thousands of Pakistanis living and working in the UK send remittances back home. A higher GBP rate means families receive more money in rupees, while a stronger PKR reduces their value.
2. Families of Overseas Pakistanis
Millions of households in Pakistan rely on UK remittances to cover daily expenses, healthcare, and education. Any fluctuation in the exchange rate directly impacts their financial stability.
3. Students in the UK
Pakistani students studying in the UK face higher tuition and living costs when the rupee weakens, making education abroad more expensive.
4. Travelers and Tourists
Pakistanis visiting the UK for business, tourism, or family visits face increased costs in tickets, accommodation, and shopping when the Pound strengthens.
5. Importers and Businesses
Pakistan imports goods, machinery, and services from the UK. A weaker rupee makes these imports costlier, pushing up inflation and consumer prices.
6. General Public in Pakistan
Even those not directly connected to the UK are affected. Currency fluctuations influence fuel prices, trade costs, and inflation, which trickle down to everyday expenses.
