Live rate only — no historical GBP/PKR series is published by SBP.
The GBP/PKR rate shows how many Pakistani Rupees are needed to buy one British Pound. It's computed from live cross-rates against the US Dollar, since both the Pound and the Rupee are quoted internationally against the Dollar.
Like the Euro, the British Pound floats freely against the Dollar, so GBP/PKR reflects two independently moving exchange rates: USD/PKR and GBP/USD.
The United Kingdom hosts one of the largest and most established overseas Pakistani communities in the world, making this exchange rate especially relevant for remittance flows and UK-Pakistan trade.
The UK is a major source of remittances to Pakistan — GBP/PKR movements directly affect how many Rupees a Pound-denominated remittance converts to for families back home.
A weaker Pound against the Dollar (independent of any Rupee move) can reduce the Rupee value of UK remittances even if USD/PKR itself is unchanged, since the conversion runs through both currencies' Dollar cross-rates.
