Combating Currency Smuggling: A Priority for Pakistan’s Economic Stability

afghanistan dollar escape

How it’s possible?

If we could purchase that 1 USD at 270 PKR in Afghanistan, but we can’t find 1 USD at 280 PKR in Pakistan cities. Then why it’s smuggled to Afghanistan?

It’s possible due to the difference in exchange rates between Afghanistan and Pakistan. If one can purchase 1 USD for 270 PKR in Afghanistan but can only find 1 USD for 280 PKR in Pakistan, there is an incentive for individuals to smuggle dollars from Pakistan to Afghanistan to take advantage of the better exchange rate. The smuggling of currency can result in a decrease in the supply of dollars in the originating country (Pakistan) and drive up its exchange rate, while increasing the supply of dollars in the destination country (Afghanistan) and lowering its exchange rate.
