Pakistan’s foreign exchange market is witnessing steady activity as global currencies are maintaining strong positions against the Rupee.
The US Dollar is continuing to trade at Rs. 280.30 buying and Rs. 282.25 selling. The dollar is influencing fuel prices, industrial imports, and government repayment schedules. Businesses are recalculating operational costs as imported raw materials are becoming expensive.
The British Pound is holding firm at Rs. 381.76 buying and Rs. 385.53 selling. With strong remittance channels from the UK, foreign inflows are supporting family incomes. However, higher pound levels are increasing overseas education expenses.
The Omani Riyal, buying at Rs. 726.28 and selling at Rs. 735.78, is generating substantial rupee inflows through remittances. Families are investing in housing and education as the Riyal remains powerful.
The UAE Dirham is trading at Rs. 76.30 buying and Rs. 77.30 selling. Construction workers, professionals, and entrepreneurs in the UAE are sending consistent remittances, strengthening domestic consumption.
The Saudi Riyal is standing at Rs. 74.70 buying and Rs. 75.30 selling. Oil trade linkages and workforce remittances are keeping SAR demand active.
The Canadian Dollar is buying at Rs. 204.23 and selling at Rs. 207.78. Education transfers and diaspora remittances are contributing to forex inflows.
As these currencies remain elevated, Pakistan’s import bill is staying high. Inflationary pressure is continuing, while remittance-driven liquidity is balancing external gaps. The Rupee is responding to global market conditions while domestic reforms are unfolding.
