Who Is Affected by GBP to PKR Rate Changes?
1. Overseas Pakistani Workers in the UK
Thousands of Pakistanis working in the UK send remittances back home every month.
A higher GBP to PKR rate means more Pakistani Rupees for their families, while a stronger Rupee reduces the amount received locally.
2. Families Dependent on Remittances
Many Pakistani households rely on money sent from the UK for essential expenses such as education, healthcare, and food. Even a minor shift in the exchange rate can impact their purchasing power significantly.
3. Pakistani Students Studying in the UK
When the Rupee weakens, tuition fees, rent, and living expenses become costlier for students and their families. This adds pressure on those financing education abroad.
4. Travelers and Tourists
People visiting the UK for business or family reasons face higher travel costs when the Pound appreciates. Airline tickets, accommodation, and local expenses all rise with a stronger Pound.
5. Importers and Businesses
Businesses importing goods or technology from the UK experience increased costs if the Rupee depreciates. This can affect local product prices and profit margins.
6. General Consumers
Since Pakistan’s fuel and commodity prices are often linked to foreign currencies, fluctuations in the GBP rate can influence overall inflation and cost of living.
