The Qatari Riyal, pegged to the US dollar at 3.64 QAR per USD, draws stability from Qatar’s natural gas exports. In contrast, the Pakistani Rupee, a free-floating currency, fluctuates with inflation, political shifts, and Pakistan’s foreign reserve levels, as noted by market analysts.Effects on Pakistani ExpatriatesFor the over 125,000 Pakistani expatriates in Qatar, the QAR’s slight decline reduces remittance values. A 1,000 QAR transfer, worth 77,470 PKR on August 16, now yields 77,440 PKR—a drop of 30 PKR, though still 50 PKR above June’s 77,390 PKR. This supports families in Pakistan with costs like education, healthcare, or daily expenses, but the dip may slightly strain budgets. Those earning in PKR or holding PKR savings may find Qatar’s imported goods marginally more affordable.Currency SnapshotThe Qatari Riyal (QAR), launched in 1966, is Qatar’s currency, marked by QR or ر.ق.
