Glitch on Google Finance leaves users in shock, shows 1 US Dollar at 140 PKR

KARACHI: The Pakistani rupee, which has been experiencing significant volatility, recently gained attention for being one of the world’s best-performing currencies due to substantial foreign currency inflows.

However, a technical glitch on Google Finance has left many in shock, as the platform is displaying erroneous exchange rates for the Pakistani Rupee.

According to Google Finance, the US Dollar is currently valued at Rs140.89, which is far away from the actual rate of Rs277. This discrepancy has confused users who rely on the tool for accurate currency exchange information.

This glitch is not specific to the US Dollar, as other currencies like British Pound, Australian Dollar, UAE Dirham, and Saudi Riyal are also being reflected in Google Finance at incorrect exchange rates.

For instance, the British Pound is reported at Rs175.2 while the actual rate is Rs342.7, the Australian Dollar at Rs87.67, the UAE Dirham at Rs38.3, and the Saudi Riyal at Rs37.5.

The error has sparked a frenzy among users, who have taken to social media platforms like Twitter to share screenshots of the glitch.

The issue seems to be a technical problem with Google’s currency converter, and it is not clear when the correct exchange rates will be restored.
