About this series

This series is the monthly average of the US dollar against the Pakistani rupee, published by the State Bank of Pakistan and available back to 1947. It's the single best long-run picture of the rupee: where a daily rate jumps around on news, the monthly average smooths that out, so you can see the structural moves — the managed peg of the early decades, the step devaluations of 1955, 1972 and the early 1980s, and the sharp runs of 2008, 2018–19 and 2022–23.

Use it for historical analysis, indexing contracts, or as a baseline to compare against the daily interbank rate (fx.rate.interbank.usd, bid/offer, and the SBP M2M revaluation rate fx.rate.m2m.usd, both from October 2026). For a day-to-day signal, use those daily series instead; for the currency's trade-weighted value, see the REER and NEER effective-rate indices.
