The central bank for the dealing and fixing rate of pound sterling in global market is The Bank of England that basically issues pound bank notes and coins.

Exchange Rate GBP to PKR

For the last ten years the value of British Pound has not fallen below 100 PKR. Today the GBP to PKR rate is Rs. 356.4. The analysis of exchange rates between Pakistani Rupee and British Pound indicates that it has kept on increasing in value and will keep on escalating as Britain’s economy is one of the strongest economies in the world. Their ties and relations with other countries are affecting their exchange rates and it will inflict badly on the value of Pakistani Rupee as the exchange rate between the two currencies is strikingly high. The only common thing between Pakistan and United Kingdom is that both are the members of Commonwealth of Nations. Their entire interaction is related to that platform. Other than this, UK has never had any close cordial relations with Pakistan which is the main reason that Pakistani Rupee never had a significant value for them. Muslim expatriates in the UK do get a good load of Pakistani Rupee in exchange when they visit Pakistan but unfortunately Pakistanis traveling to UK don’t even get half of the British Pounds in exchange for their money. This is not only creating an economic setback in the country but making Pakistani Rupee lesser and lesser in the international foreign exchange market. Government of Pakistan is making every possible effort to achieve cordial relations with United Kingdom which might help to make rupee’s position stronger in the open market hence giving advantages to Pakistani travelers and open market traders/dealers.

History of the Pound Sterling

The pound sterling is basically 1200 years old when sterlings or silver pennies used to be the main currency in the Anglo- Saxon Kingdoms. After the establishment of Bank of England in 1694, bank notes and coins for pound sterling were issued. The first note for 10 pound was issued in 1759 and 5 pound note was issued in 1793. Eventually in 1855, The Bank of England started printing notes of various amount.

In 1707, Kingdom of Scotland and Kingdom of England amalgamated into each other forming Kingdom of Great Britain. At that time currency of Scotland was Pound Scots but after the formation of Kingdom of Great Britain, it was restored as pound sterling. In 1801, Ireland also united with Great Britain leading to the formation of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. United Kingdom had one of the most stable economies in the world before World War 1 but the war left the country in a massive debt. To stabilize the currency again, value of pound sterling was pegged to the gold rates in the country but in 1931, the pound sterling went through severe devaluation by 25%. In 1971, pound became a floating currency and its exchange value was being determined by the foreign exchange dealers in the global market. Sterling fell at its lowest price point in history after 1980 due to a worldwide recession. The journey of its stability has been slow but it remained successful in becoming as high value as United States Dollar.
