Nepal Currency Rates: Dollar Remains Unchanged

The exchange rate of the US dollar remained unchanged on Monday, with Nepal Rastra Bank retaining the same rates that were in place over the weekend. The central bank’s latest foreign exchange bulletin shows stability in the dollar despite fluctuations often seen in global currency markets, offering a predictable benchmark for importers, remittance recipients and businesses that closely track daily currency movements.

The buying rate for one US dollar has been fixed at Rs 151.71, while the selling rate stands at Rs 152.31. The same rates were maintained on both Saturday and Sunday.

Euro, Pound and Swiss Franc Also Published

Nepal Rastra Bank has set the buying rate for one euro at Rs 176.89 and the selling rate at Rs 177.59.

The British pound is valued at Rs 204.21 for buying and Rs 205.02 for selling. The Swiss franc has been fixed at Rs 194.21 for buying and Rs 194.98 for selling.

For many households and businesses, movements in these currencies carry significance beyond tourism or overseas travel, particularly as remittances, imports and education-related payments remain closely linked to foreign exchange trends.
