The NPR/USD pair shows how many US dollars are needed to buy one Nepalese rupee, used by remittance recipients, importers, and travelers between Nepal and the US.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.

The NPR/USD exchange rate indicates the value of the Nepalese rupee (NPR) against the US dollar (USD). As a directed pair, it shows how many US dollars are required to purchase one Nepalese rupee. This rate is particularly relevant for Nepalese receiving remittances from abroad, importers paying for goods priced in dollars, and travelers exchanging currency. An appreciation of the NPR means that fewer dollars are needed to buy one rupee, making US goods cheaper for Nepalese buyers but reducing the local-currency value of dollar-denominated remittances.
Structural drivers of the NPR/USD rate include the monetary policies of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and the US Federal Reserve. Nepal maintains a pegged exchange rate regime with the Indian rupee, which indirectly links the NPR to the USD through the INR/USD cross. Key factors include interest rate differentials, inflation trends in both economies, Nepal's trade deficit, remittance inflows (a major source of foreign exchange), tourism revenues, and capital flows. The US dollar's status as a global reserve currency and risk sentiment also influence the pair. Nepal's reliance on imports and limited export base often puts downward pressure on the NPR.
Over recent years, the NPR/USD rate has been shaped by the NPR's peg to the Indian rupee and the USD's broad strength. When the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates, the dollar strengthened globally, putting pressure on the NPR. Conversely, periods of strong remittance inflows and tourism recovery have supported the NPR. The pair has generally trended with the INR/USD rate, reflecting the close economic ties between Nepal and India. However, without specific historical data, a detailed chronology is avoided; instead, traders monitor the INR/USD cross and Nepal's foreign exchange reserves for directional cues.
