Just looked at Pakistan's currency history and it's actually wild 👇 Back in 1947 when the country was founded, 1 USD was worth only 3.31 PKR. That rate pretty much held steady for nearly a decade until the mid-50s. Then things started shifting - by 1972, the dollar had jumped to 11 PKR, and through the 80s it was hovering around 9-20 PKR range. The real story kicks in during the 90s though. The rupee started taking hits, and by 2000 you're looking at 51.90 PKR per dollar. Fast forward to 2008 and the financial crisis hit hard - dollar rate jumped to 81 PKR. But the biggest collapse came recently. In 2019 it was 163 PKR, then 2020 hit with 168 PKR, and by 2022-2023 we're talking 240-286 PKR. The dollar rate in Pakistan basically tells the story of economic pressure and inflation over 77 years. Last year it settled around 277 PKR. Crazy how much currency values can shift when you look at the bigger picture like this.
