Web Desk Pakistan’s open market is continuing to show mixed movement today as major foreign currencies are edging in different directions, directly affecting the millions of overseas Pakistani workers who regularly send remittances home. The US Dollar is trading at Rs 281.5 (buying) and Rs 281.6 (selling), and its steady trend is helping many Pakistani families who rely on dollar-based remittances from the United States.
The Saudi Riyal is standing at Rs 75.05 (buying) and Rs 75.50 (selling), while the UAE Dirham is moving at Rs 76.75 and Rs 77.50, respectively — both remaining crucial for Pakistan’s workforce in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who continue sending record remittances this month.
The Omani Riyal is priced at Rs 730.50 (buying) and Rs 739.50 (selling), showing slight upward movement as Pakistani workers in Oman keep contributing steadily to Pakistan’s foreign inflows. Meanwhile, the Canadian Dollar is trading at Rs 199.15 (buying) and Rs 204.15 (selling), reflecting moderate strength influenced by the growing Pakistani community in Canada.
The British Pound remains the strongest among major currencies today, standing at Rs 371 (buying) and Rs 374 (selling), as remittances from Pakistani professionals and students in the UK continue rising.
Overall, the open-market scene is staying active, and these currency trends are directly shaping remittance inflows that remain a critical support for Pakistan’s economy.
