USD, SAR, OMR, CAD, GBP, AED Rates Remained Stable in Pakistan Open Market

Foreign exchange rates in Pakistan’s open market showed a stable trend, as steady remittances from overseas Pakistanis helped keep the rupee balanced against major global currencies.

The US Dollar (USD) was recorded at Rs 281.05 on the buying side and Rs 283.30 on the selling side, with limited day-to-day movement. Regular inflows from the United States continued easing pressure on the local market.

The Saudi Riyal (SAR) traded at Rs 74.80 for buying and Rs 75.40 for selling, reflecting the ongoing financial support provided by Pakistani workers employed across Saudi cities.

The UAE Dirham (AED) was exchanged at Rs 76.40 (buying) and Rs 77.05 (selling). Remittances from the UAE remained consistent, helping many families manage living expenses in Pakistan.

The Omani Riyal (OMR) stood at Rs 728 for buying and Rs 738 for selling, maintaining its position among the strongest currencies in the open market due to steady inflows from Oman.

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) hovered at Rs 201.50 (buying) and Rs 204.00 (selling), supported by transfers from Pakistani professionals and students settled in Canada.

At the same time, the British Pound (GBP) was traded at Rs 375 for buying and Rs 378 for selling, backed by continued remittance flows from the United Kingdom.

In summary, the open market remained calm and orderly, as sustained remittances from key regions played a central role in keeping exchange rates stable against the Pakistani rupee.
