February 04, 2025 (MLN): Google’s currency converter is displaying an alarmingly low exchange rate for the US Dollar against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR). At one point, the tool showed the rate at 140.89 PKR, a figure that contrasts with the official exchange rate, which currently hovers in the high 277s PKR.

Google's currency converter also shows the wrong exchange rate for the UAE Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR), and Qatari Riyal (QAR) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR).

While the actual market rate hovers around 76.50PKR per AED, 74.75 PKR for SAR, and 77.09 PKR for QAR, Google shows a baffling 38.36 PKR for AED, 37.56 PKR for SAR and 38.66 PKR for QAR, causing confusion among traders, businesses, and overseas Pakistanis.

The incorrect rate on Google has confused, especially those involved in remittances and foreign exchange transactions.

Many individuals relying on Google’s search results for real-time currency rates have expressed frustration over the misleading information.
