Dollar, Riyal, Dirham, Pound and CAD Rates Today in Pakistan Open Market

Major foreign currencies linked with overseas Pakistani workers are trading steadily in Pakistan’s open market today, as the rupee is continuing to hold its ground amid consistent remittance inflows from the Middle East, the United Kingdom, Canada and other regions.
The US Dollar (USD) is remaining the center of attention in the market. The greenback is being bought at Rs. 280.65 and sold at Rs. 282.30, with importers settling payments and freelancers receiving earnings through global digital platforms. These steady dollar inflows are supporting both business transactions and household spending across the country.
Gulf currencies are also showing balanced movement. The Saudi Riyal (SAR) is buying at Rs. 74.90 and selling at Rs. 75.35, while the UAE Dirham (AED) is trading at Rs. 76.50 for buying and Rs. 77.30 for selling. These currencies are closely tied to remittances, as hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis are working in construction, transport, healthcare and retail sectors in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Their regular money transfers are helping families manage rising inflation, utility bills and daily expenses.
Meanwhile, the Omani Riyal (OMR) — known for its high conversion value — is being bought at Rs. 728.25 and sold at Rs. 738.25, providing stronger returns in rupee terms. Families receiving funds from Oman are often able to save more and invest in education, property and small businesses.
In Western markets, the British Pound Sterling (GBP) is trading at Rs. 386.26 buying and Rs. 390.96 selling, offering significant value to recipients in Pakistan. Many families rely on these transfers to support education costs and long-term savings.
Similarly, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) is exchanging at Rs. 205.03 for buying and Rs. 208.57 for selling, as Pakistani students and professionals living in Canada continue sending regular remittances back home, keeping demand steady.
Economic observers say that the stable behavior of these remittance-linked currencies is acting as a financial cushion for Pakistan’s economy. As overseas Pakistanis continue sending money and exchange activity remains smooth, the rupee is showing resilience despite global economic pressures.
For now, the open market is presenting a picture of cautious stability, with overseas workers once again proving to be the backbone of Pakistan’s foreign exchange strength.
