Pakistan’s open market is today showing mixed movement as major global currencies — including the US Dollar, Saudi Riyal, Omani Riyal, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, and UAE Dirham — continue to trade in a stable but closely-watched pattern. These currencies remain highly important for Pakistan due to millions of overseas workers sending remittances from the US, Gulf countries, the UK, and Canada.
The US Dollar (USD) is currently buying at Rs 281.40 and selling at Rs 283.25, and the rate is continuing to shape overall market sentiment as remittances from the US remain steady.
The Saudi Riyal (SAR), directly linked to the salaries of Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia, is buying at Rs 74.90 and selling at Rs 75.40, and is staying relatively stable today.
The Omani Riyal (OMR) — one of the strongest currencies in the region and vital for workers in Oman — is buying at Rs 729 and selling at Rs 739, and continues to hold firm.
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is buying at Rs 199.50 and selling at Rs 205, with the rate remaining active due to rising student and worker traffic from Pakistan to Canada.
The British Pound (GBP) is buying at Rs 371.60 and selling at Rs 375.10, and is maintaining its position as one of the most valuable foreign currencies for Pakistan’s inflows.
Similarly, the UAE Dirham (AED) — a key currency for Pakistani labor in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi — is buying at Rs 76.60 and selling at Rs 77.35, showing steady demand.
Overall, Pakistan’s open market is continuing to display stable trading behavior today, offering some confidence to remittance-reliant families and businesses across the country.
