What is an NRB forex rate?

Nepal Rastra Bank’s official reference rates - and what they are not.

4 min read · FX

Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) publishes daily foreign exchange reference rates in Nepalese rupees (NPR). These rates tell you how many rupees equal a stated amount of foreign currency (for example 1 US dollar, or 100 Indian rupees).

They are a benchmark, not a promise from your bank or remittance app. Commercial providers add a spread and fees. Still, NRB is the number journalists, analysts, and careful consumers check first.

On this site, live tables live on the forex desk, and you can convert amounts with the NPR converter.
