Nepal’s official foreign exchange rates for Thursday have been released, showing slight movements in several key international currencies. These rates help set the value of foreign money for both buyers and sellers and are used by banks, exchange counters, and businesses across the country.
The exchange rate for the US Dollar has dipped a little. The buying rate for one US Dollar is now NPR 136.47, while the selling rate is NPR 137.07. This small shift could affect import and export prices slightly, as the Dollar plays a major role in global trade.
In the European currency market, the Euro has been set at NPR 159.90 for buying and NPR 160.60 for selling. This means if someone wants to buy one Euro, they will need to pay NPR 160.60, while sellers will receive NPR 159.90. The Euro is important for travelers and businesses dealing with the European Union.
The UK Pound Sterling also saw a slight adjustment. It is now valued at NPR 187.39 for buying and NPR 188.22 for selling. This makes the Pound one of the most expensive currencies exchanged in Nepal today.
For those dealing with the Swiss Franc, the rates are NPR 170.90 for buying and NPR 171.65 for selling. The Swiss Franc remains strong in the global financial system and is often used in banking and investment transactions.
The Australian Dollar is priced at NPR 89.20 for buying and NPR 89.60 for selling. The Canadian Dollar is slightly more expensive, with a buying rate of NPR 99.97 and a selling rate of NPR 100.41. These rates are especially important for Nepalis working or studying in Australia and Canada.
The Singapore Dollar continues to hold value. It is set at NPR 106.99 for buying and NPR 107.46 for selling. Singapore is a popular trade and travel destination for many people in Nepal, so this rate can have a broad impact.
Asian currencies have shown mixed changes. For 10 Japanese Yen, the buying rate is NPR 9.44 and the selling rate is NPR 9.48. One Chinese Yuan is valued at NPR 19.03 for buying and NPR 19.11 for selling. These small differences show that the Japanese and Chinese currencies have remained mostly stable.
The Saudi Arabian Riyal, which is important for the large Nepali workforce in the Gulf region, is priced at NPR 36.39 for buying and NPR 36.55 for selling. The Qatari Riyal also shows steady performance with a buying rate of NPR 37.34 and selling rate of NPR 37.50.
Other Middle Eastern currencies also remain significant. The UAE Dirham is at NPR 37.16 for buying and NPR 37.32 for selling. The Kuwaiti Dinar, one of the highest-valued currencies globally, is set at NPR 446.22 for buying and NPR 448.18 for selling. The Bahraini Dinar is NPR 361.75 for buying and NPR 363.34 for selling, while the Omani Riyal stands at NPR 354.45 for buying and NPR 356.01 for selling.
Thailand’s Baht is slightly weaker, standing at NPR 4.18 for buying and NPR 4.20 for selling. The Malaysian Ringgit is priced at NPR 32.27 for buying and NPR 32.41 for selling. These currencies are commonly used by Nepali travelers heading to Southeast Asia.
South Korea’s Won is listed at NPR 10.03 for buying and NPR 10.08 for selling, based on 100 units. This makes it one of the lower-valued but still traded currencies. The Swedish Krona is NPR 14.40 for buying and NPR 14.46 for selling, while the Danish Krone is NPR 21.43 for buying and NPR 21.53 for selling.
The Hong Kong Dollar remains steady, listed at NPR 17.38 for buying and NPR 17.46 for selling. Though not as widely used as other major currencies, it is still important for business and tourism.
Finally, the Indian Rupee, which shares the longest trade and travel border with Nepal, is priced at NPR 160.00 for buying and NPR 160.15 for selling, based on 100 units. This small gap reflects a near parity between the two economies in daily exchange rates.
These exchange rates are determined and adjusted based on global market trends. The rates are used by banks and money changers throughout Nepal. The central authority has also made it clear that these rates are subject to change at any time depending on market demand, economic shifts, and international developments.
