KARACHI: The Kuwaiti Dinar was trading against the Pakistani Rupee at around Rs887.25 in Pakistan’s open market on Monday, May 25, 2026, according to currency market data updated in the evening. The rate, however, varied across exchange companies and international currency platforms, with some remittance and mid-market rates hovering closer to the Rs900–908 range.
According to Forex.pk, 1 Kuwaiti Dinar was available at Rs887.25 in the Pakistan open market on Monday evening. Earlier in the day, the same source had shown the rate near Rs889.25, underlining the small but noticeable movement during the trading session.
Exchange-company rates were higher in some cases. Sadiq Exchange listed the Kuwaiti Dinar at Rs875.80 buying and Rs901.00 selling, with its rates last updated at 10:08am on May 25, 2026. That means customers buying Kuwaiti Dinars from an exchange counter could face a different price than the headline open-market figure.
International currency platforms also showed a stronger KWD/PKR level. Wise listed 1 KWD at around Rs908.0 for May 25, while Forbes Advisor showed the rate around Rs899.99 in its afternoon update. ExchangeRates.org.uk also placed the live rate close to Rs899.99 later in the day.
Why the KWD rate matters for Pakistan
The Kuwaiti Dinar is closely watched in Pakistan because thousands of Pakistani workers live and work in Kuwait and send money back home. Even a small change in the dinar’s value can affect household remittances, especially for families relying on monthly transfers.
For example, at an open-market rate of Rs887.25, a remittance of 100 Kuwaiti Dinars would convert to roughly Rs88,725 before any service charges or exchange-company deductions. At a mid-market rate of around Rs908, the same amount would be close to Rs90,800. That gap matters. For ordinary families, it’s not just a number on a screen.

Open market vs remittance rate
Currency dealers usually quote separate buying and selling rates. The buying rate is what dealers may pay when they purchase foreign currency from customers, while the selling rate is what customers may pay when buying foreign currency. Online “mid-market” rates, meanwhile, are often used as reference rates and may not be the exact amount a customer receives in a bank, exchange shop, or remittance transfer. Forex.pk also notes that its rates are indicative and can change minute by minute.
The Kuwaiti Dinar remains one of the world’s strongest currencies, and its movement against the rupee is shaped by the Pakistani currency’s own performance, global dollar trends, remittance flows, and local demand for foreign exchange.
Disclaimer: Currency rates change throughout the day. Customers should confirm the final buying or selling rate with their bank, exchange company, or money-transfer provider before making a transaction.
