    There are many factors that drive foreign exchange rates including capital flows into a country (that creates demand for its currency), its export earnings, it's relative inflation rates, etc.

    The value of Qatari Riyal is pegged to the US Dollar.

    The value of USD fluctuates freely depending on capital flows.

    The value of Nepali Rupee is pegged to the Indian Rupee.

    The Value of Indian Rupee floats (but not freely due to restrictions on capital flows) and fluctuates with the USD. Therefore, as the Indian Rupee weakens (or strengthens) against the USD, your Nepali Rupee value of Qatari Riayal earnings will fluctuate.

    Small developing nations such as Qatar peg their currency to a major international reserve currency such as the USD to attract foreign investors as well as foreign workers. The perception of possible currency devaluation or potential hyperinflation can scare investors and cause a sudden capital flight inflicting damage to the local economy. The peg eliminates the developing nation's ability to print too much money that can cause hyperinflation. With the peg, worries about currency risk is eliminated and the small developing nation is able to attract foreign capital as well as foreign workers.
