CNY exchange rate: where to find it
The card above shows State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) exchange rates for mark-to-market revaluation: the "ready" rate in rupees per unit for the Chinese yuan (CNY, also called the renminbi), the offshore yuan (CNH) and other currencies, with the SBP date and a link to the SBP page. It also shows SBP's weighted average customer exchange rate for the US dollar (bid and offer), a trend line for the yuan and other currencies against PKR, and a converter that includes the rupee.
ECB reference rate of 2026-11-11. Banks and brokers apply their own rates and fees.
This converter uses European Central Bank (ECB) euro reference rates and works between the currencies on the ECB list, including the yuan and the US dollar. It does not include the rupee. For amounts in rupees, use the converter in the rates card above, which works on SBP rates.
How the date works:
- SBP issues its mark-to-market rates every working day for authorised dealers to revalue their books.
- On weekends and public holidays there is no new SBP rate, so the card keeps the last working day's rate and date. It refreshes by itself when SBP publishes. It is not a live market price.
- SBP compiles the US dollar rate as a weighted average of closing interbank rates collected through brokerage houses; the yuan rate comes from the same SBP file. For the dollar itself, see the US dollar (USD) page.

Why bank and exchange-office rates differ
The official rate is a benchmark. It is not the rate you get when you buy or sell yuan. Banks and exchange offices quote their own buy and sell rates.
| Where you exchange | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Bank transfer | The bank sets its own buying and selling rates. The gap between them is its margin. |
| Cash at an exchange company | Yuan cash is less common in Pakistan than dollars or riyals, so the spread (the gap between buy and sell prices) can be wider and stock can be limited. |
| Card payment in China | Your card issuer converts the amount, often through the US dollar, and may add a conversion fee. |
| Money transfer services | The rate and the fee are set by the provider. Compare the total amount received, not only the rate. |
Before a large exchange, ask for the rate and all fees in writing and compare them with the official rate published by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). Our SBP exchange rates page explains how official rupee rates are published.
What moves the Chinese yuan
People's Bank of China policy
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) is China's central bank. Each trading day it sets a central parity rate (a daily fixing) for the yuan against the US dollar, and onshore trading is allowed only within a band around that fixing. The PBOC also sets interest rates and bank reserve requirements. Lower Chinese rates or signals of easing tend to weaken the yuan; firmer guidance tends to support it.
There are two versions of the currency. CNY trades onshore in mainland China under these controls. CNH trades offshore, mainly in Hong Kong, more freely. The two usually stay close but can separate when markets are under stress. See also the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) page.
China's trade and capital flows
China earns large amounts of foreign currency from exports. Strong export data, a big trade surplus and foreign investment into Chinese bonds and stocks support the yuan. Capital leaving China, weak demand at home, or trade disputes and tariffs with major partners tend to weigh on it. Because the yuan is managed against the dollar, moves in the US dollar itself also show up in CNY rates.
The rupee side
CNY/PKR also moves when the rupee moves. The State Bank of Pakistan's interest rate decisions, Pakistan's import bill, foreign reserves and remittance inflows all affect the rupee. The latest decision on record: SBP policy rate raised by 50 bps to 12% with effect from 27.10.2026 (MPC). More background is on our SBP rates and economy page.
Links between China and Pakistan
- Trade: China is a major source of Pakistan's imports, including machinery, electronics, textiles inputs and chemicals. Importers pay in dollars or yuan, so the CNY rate affects the rupee cost of these goods.
- Projects and investment: Chinese-financed infrastructure and energy projects create payments in both currencies.
- Students: Many Pakistani students study in China and pay fees and living costs in yuan.
- Travel and business visits: Traders visiting Chinese markets and trade fairs need yuan for purchases and expenses.
- Remittances: Pakistanis working in China send money home, which turns yuan into rupees.
CNY in forex trading
Some traders follow USD/CNH as a currency pair. Leveraged forex and CFD trading can lose money fast, including more than you expect in a short time. In Pakistan, per the SBP, remitting foreign exchange to overseas forex/margin/CFD platforms is not allowed through any payment channel (FERA s.5(1)), and per the SECP, offshore forex/CFD platforms operate without regulatory approval in Pakistan. Read our law and regulators page and the risk management guide before you consider any trading. Rates for other currencies are on the exchange rates page.
Frequent questions
Where can I find the yuan to PKR rate?
The official rupee rate is published by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), and the card at the top shows it in rupees per yuan, with the SBP date and a link to the SBP page. On weekends and holidays it shows the last working day's rate.
Is CNY the same as RMB?
Yes. Renminbi (RMB) is the name of the currency, and the yuan (CNY) is its unit.
What is the difference between CNY and CNH?
CNY is traded onshore in mainland China under the daily fixing and band. CNH is the offshore yuan traded mainly in Hong Kong. Their prices are usually close but not always identical.
Why does my bank give a different rate?
Banks and exchange companies add their own margin and fees. The official rate is a benchmark, not a dealing price.
Can I buy yuan cash in Pakistan?
Some exchange companies may offer it, but availability and spreads vary. Ask several providers and compare the total cost.
Is the CNY converter rate live?
No. The converter in the rates card uses SBP rates published on working days and includes the rupee; the separate converter below it uses ECB euro reference rates and does not include the rupee. Neither is a live market price.
