The dollar rate, day by day
Neither the State Bank nor forex.com.pk publishes a history of the dollar rate. This site keeps its own record, starting from the first day on record. This page shows how the interbank and open-market rates moved over recent days.

What the table shows
The table above shows the interbank rate and the open-market buying and selling price for each day on record. Each row is a day, with the date the figures belong to. The interbank figure is published by the State Bank. The open-market figure is a counter quote from forex.com.pk.
The table also shows the gap between the open-market selling price and the interbank rate for each day. The gap is the premium you pay to buy dollars over a counter rather than at the interbank rate.
Why weekends are missing
Weekends are missing from the table because the State Bank does not publish the interbank rate on Saturdays and Sundays. The open-market counter figure is hand-typed and can sit unchanged for a day, so it is not a reliable source for weekend trading.
The table shows only the days on which the State Bank published a rate. That is the honest record. A day with no interbank rate is a day with no entry, not a day with a guessed rate.
Why this site keeps the record
Neither source publishes a history. The State Bank's page shows only the latest rate. forex.com.pk shows only the current counter quote. This site keeps its own record of the figures it has read, starting from the first day on record.
The record is built from each day's published figures. It is not invented history. It is the only way to see how the rates moved over time, and it is the basis for the day-by-day table.
How the rates move
The interbank rate moves when the State Bank changes its reference rate, or when the weighted-average bid and offer move. The open-market rate moves when money changers change their board rates, which they do in response to demand and supply of cash dollars.
The two rates do not move in lockstep. The open-market rate can sit unchanged for a day while the interbank rate moves, or the open-market rate can move while the interbank rate stays put. The day-by-day table shows these movements.
What a change in the gap means
A change in the gap means the relationship between the two rates has changed. If the gap widens, the open-market selling price has risen relative to the interbank rate, or the interbank rate has fallen relative to the open-market rate.
A widening gap is a sign of pressure in the open market. A narrowing gap is a sign that the open market is moving closer to the interbank rate. The day-by-day table shows the gap for each day, so the trend is visible.
How to use the record
The record is not a forecast. It tells you what happened, not what will happen. Use it to see where the rates have been, and to compare today's rates with recent days.
If you are planning to buy dollars, the record can show you whether the open-market rate is high or low compared with recent days. It cannot tell you whether it will be higher or lower tomorrow.
