Frequently asked questions
Who issues the Pakistani Rupee?+
The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) is issued by State Bank of Pakistan. As the monetary authority for Pakistan, it sets policy interest rates, manages foreign reserves, and controls the money supply.
What is the inflation rate of the Pakistani Rupee?+
Latest available consumer price inflation for the Pakistani Rupee: 12.63% YoY (2024). Source: World Bank annual series (FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG). Daily-refreshed historical chart on this page.
Has the Pakistani Rupee been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 208% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between PKR as accounting unit and PKR as a store of value.
Is the Pakistani Rupee sound money?+
On the Money2069 0–100 sound-money scale, the Pakistani Rupee currently scores 33.6. The score weights inflation volatility, 10-year money-supply growth, and 1-year FX stability. Higher = closer to sound. No fiat scores 100 because no fiat has zero issuance.
