KRW
ECB reference rate of 2026-11-11. Banks and brokers apply their own rates and fees.
The KRW exchange rate and where to find it
The rates card below shows the official rate published by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP): its exchange rate for mark-to-market revaluation (the "ready" rate, in rupees per unit), with the SBP date and a link to the SBP page. Banks and exchange offices quote their own buy and sell rates.
The rates card also shows SBP's weighted average customer exchange rate for the US dollar (bid and offer), a trend line for major currencies against PKR, and a converter that includes PKR. The separate converter at the top of the page works on European Central Bank (ECB) euro reference rates, as cross rates between the currencies the ECB covers. It does not include PKR, so use the rates card for rupee amounts.
SBP publishes these rates once per working day for authorised dealers to revalue their books, and the card refreshes by itself. It is not a live market price. On weekends and public holidays no new rate is published, so the page shows the last official date. Check that date before you rely on the number.
Some sources quote the won in large blocks of units rather than per single won, because one won is worth very little. When you compare this page with a bank board or another site, check which unit each one uses.

How to convert KRW to PKR on this page
- Step 1: in the converter inside the rates card, enter the amount, choose South Korean won (KRW) as "from" and Pakistani rupee (PKR) as "to".
- Step 2: check the SBP date on the card. The table lists rupees per single won, so remember that one won is worth only a small part of a rupee.
- Through USD: the won is often priced against the US dollar first. You can compare with the US dollar (USD) page.
The result is only a reference value. It does not include any bank margin, card fee or transfer charge.
Why bank and exchange-office rates differ
The official SBP rate is a benchmark, not a dealing price. Banks, exchange companies and card issuers set their own buy and sell rates around it:
- Spread: the gap between the buy rate and the sell rate. Your counterparty keeps this gap.
- Cash availability: the won is not a common cash currency in Pakistan, so exchange offices may hold little stock or quote a wider spread.
- Card and online payments: if you pay in won with a Pakistani card, the card network rate and the bank's own charges apply.
- Remittance services: money transfer services set their own rates and fees. Compare the final amount received, not only the quoted rate.
- Timing: a bank can change its board rate during the day. The reference rate stays fixed until the next publication.

What moves the South Korean won
Bank of Korea policy
The Bank of Korea sets South Korea's policy interest rate. Higher rates relative to other economies can attract capital into won assets. Lower rates can do the opposite. Markets also react to how the bank describes the outlook for inflation and growth, not only to the decision itself.
Trade and exports
South Korea is a large exporter of semiconductors, cars, ships, electronics and petrochemicals. Strong export earnings bring foreign currency into the country and tend to support the won. Weaker global demand, especially for chips, can weigh on it. The country also imports most of its energy, so oil and gas prices affect its trade balance.
Capital flows
Foreign investors hold a large share of Korean shares and bonds. When global investors move away from risk, money can leave the KOSPI stock market and the won often weakens. When appetite for risk returns, the flow can reverse. US interest rates and the US dollar's general strength also play a major part.
The rupee side
The KRW/PKR rate also depends on the rupee. Pakistan's import bill, foreign reserves, remittance inflows and SBP policy all move PKR. The latest SBP decision: SBP policy rate raised by 50 bps to 12% with effect from 27.10.2026 (MPC). More background is on SBP rates and economy.
Links between South Korea and Pakistan
- Trade: Pakistan imports Korean machinery, vehicles, electronics and steel products. Importers pay in won or in US dollars, so both rates matter to them.
- Workers and remittances: Pakistani workers in South Korea send earnings home. The won rate affects how many rupees a family receives.
- Students: Pakistani students at Korean universities pay fees and living costs in won. A weaker rupee raises their costs in PKR terms.
- Travel: visitors need won for hotels, transport and daily spending. Many convert through US dollars first.

Frequent questions
Where can I find the official South Korean won rate in rupees?
The rates card on this page shows it: State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) publishes the rate in rupees per won, and the card shows it with the SBP date and a link to the SBP page.
Why does the rate not change on weekends?
SBP publishes its rates on working days only. On weekends and holidays the page keeps the last official rate and shows its date.
Is the rate on this page the rate I will get at a bank?
No. Banks and exchange offices add a spread and sometimes fees. Ask for the final rupee or won amount before you exchange.
Can I convert won to PKR directly in Pakistan?
Some banks and exchange companies may deal in won, but availability varies. Many people convert through US dollars. Check with the bank or exchange company directly.
What makes the won stronger or weaker?
The main drivers are Bank of Korea rate decisions, export demand (especially for chips), foreign investment flows into Korean markets and the strength of the US dollar.
Can I trade the won as a currency pair?
Currency trading through leveraged CFDs carries high risk and can lose money fast. Also note the SBP position: per the SBP, remitting foreign exchange to overseas forex/margin/CFD platforms is not allowed through any payment channel (FERA s.5(1)). Read Law and regulators before you consider it.
