Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Qatari riyal to pound exchange rate, and the Qatari riyal buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Qatari riyal to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Qatari riyal in British pounds. For example, a Qatari riyal to pound rate of 0.2222 means one Qatari riyal is worth 0.2222 pounds.
In contrast, the Qatari riyal buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Qatari riyals you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Qatari riyal buyback rate of 4.5 means you'd have to exchange 4.5 Qatari riyals to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Qatari riyal buyback rate instead of the Qatari riyal to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Qatari riyal comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Qatari riyal to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Qatari riyal buyback rate into the actual Qatari riyal to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Qatari riyal buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 4.5 = 0.2222.
