    Forex Update: Central Bank Reveals Latest Exchange Rates with US Dollar Trading at Rs. 153.85

    The central bank of Nepal, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), has released its updated foreign exchange dashboard for Sunday, setting fresh benchmarks across major international currencies. According to the official schedule, the buying rate for one US Dollar stands firmly at Rs. 153.25, while commercial counters are authorized to sell it at Rs. 153.85. Concurrently, European currencies showed notable strength in the domestic market, with the Euro maintaining a buying value of Rs. 178.38 (selling at Rs. 179.08) and the UK Pound Sterling holding its premium ground at a buying rate of Rs. 204.95 and a selling price of Rs. 205.75. Other key regional currencies heavily utilized by the migratory workforce and retail traders have also been adjusted. The Australian Dollar is trading at a buying price of Rs. 109.73 and a selling price of Rs. 110.16, closely trailed by the Canadian Dollar at a selling rate of Rs. 111.91. For Gulf-bound transactions, the Saudi Arabian Riyal sits at a selling rate of Rs. 41.00, while the UAE Dirham is fixed at Rs. 41.89. The central bank noted that while these figures serve as the national baseline, commercial banking entities retain the autonomy to slightly alter their retail transaction sheets based on immediate open-market liquidity constraints.
