Web Desk The open market is showing steady movement today as major currencies are trading with modest variations across Pakistan. This stability is largely attributed to sustained remittance flows that continue to support foreign exchange liquidity.
The US Dollar (USD) is currently being quoted at Rs. 281.45 (buying) and Rs. 283.50 (selling). Similarly, the Gulf currencies, vital for Pakistani workers, show minor fluctuation: the Saudi Riyal (SAR) is at Rs. 74.95 (buying) and Rs. 75.50 (selling), while the UAE Dirham (AED) is trading at Rs. 76.65 (buying) and Rs. 77.40 (selling).
For higher-value currencies, the Omani Riyal (OMR) is holding strong at Rs. 729.50 (buying) and Rs. 739.50 (selling). The British Pound (GBP) is moving around Rs. 371.50 (buying) and Rs. 375.00 (selling), and the Canadian Dollar (CAD) is being quoted at Rs. 199.50 (buying) and Rs. 205.00 (selling).
These rates directly reflect the ongoing financial support from the Pakistani diaspora. Workers in the US, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Canada, the UK, and the UAE are continuing to send earnings home, which are crucial for maintaining household budgets and bolstering overall foreign exchange inflows. The market is staying watchful as global cues and remittance patterns continue to influence short-term currency movements
