How to read the QAR rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many QAR it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Qatari Riyal is losing value (more QAR per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (3.73) and the low (3.64) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.3% around the average.
What has moved the Qatari Riyal recently?
In Qatar, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as a fixed US-dollar peg, gas-export surpluses, open convertibility. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Qatar Central Bank (QCB) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical QAR rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to QAR page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
