USD to PKR 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → Pakistani rupee forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Pakistani rupee performance and trends.

 

USD/PKR Outlook:

The USD/PKR exchange rate is currently likely to move sideways as it sits just below its recent average and near its three-month highs. This position indicates a balance of upward and downward pressures.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Federal Reserve's tighter monetary stance continues to support the USD, contrasting with the State Bank of Pakistan's stable policy rate aimed at inflation control.
  • Risk/commodities: Oil prices are volatile, with rising trends potentially benefiting the USD against the PKR due to Pakistan's reliance on energy imports.
  • One macro factor: Signs of economic recovery in Pakistan, such as improved foreign exchange reserves, are helping stabilize the PKR against external pressures.

Range:

The USD/PKR is expected to hold its ground, trading within the recent range of 277.6 to 282.5 with limited volatility.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A stronger-than-expected US GDP report could boost the USD further.
  • Downside risk: Any renewed concerns over Pakistan’s economic stability or rising inflation could weaken the PKR.
