why is the dollar rate changing?
The recent news reports show daily fluctuations set by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), but they don't detail the specific macroeconomic drivers behind the recent shifts. Over the first week of September 2026, the USD selling rate moved from Rs 152.23 on September 2 down to Rs 151.48 by September 6.
In Nepal, daily foreign exchange rates are fixed by Nepal Rastra Bank primarily reflecting global currency market movements and the Indian Rupee peg, though the latest daily bulletins only report the updated figures rather than the underlying causes.
