Pakistan’s open market is showing steady foreign currency trading as major international currencies are maintaining balanced positions against the rupee. Economic indicators are suggesting that consistent remittance inflows and controlled import demand are helping reduce volatility.
The US dollar is trading at Rs 280.75 for buying and Rs 283 for selling, as it remains the most influential currency in Pakistan’s economy. Businesses are continuing to rely on the dollar for imports and trade settlements, while consumers are tracking its movement due to its effect on prices.
In the Gulf region, the Saudi riyal is being bought at Rs 74.75 and sold at Rs 75.50, supported by strong remittance flows from Pakistani workers. Families across Pakistan are relying on these inflows for daily expenses, education, and savings, keeping riyal demand steady.
The UAE dirham is currently trading between Rs 76.40 and Rs 77.35, reflecting consistent employment opportunities for Pakistanis in the Emirates. Monthly transfers from UAE-based workers are strengthening household incomes and supporting domestic economic activity.
The Omani riyal is standing firm at Rs 726.75 on the buying side and Rs 736.75 on the selling side, as professionals working in Oman are continuing to send funds home. The riyal’s strength is providing higher rupee value, benefiting families dependent on overseas earnings.
From North America, the Canadian dollar is being bought at Rs 203 and sold at Rs 207, with financial ties strengthening due to student migration and permanent settlement trends. Regular transfers from Canada are contributing to Pakistan’s foreign exchange inflows.
Meanwhile, the British pound is trading at Rs 376.75 for buying and Rs 380.75 for selling, as remittances from the UK remain a key support factor. Pakistani families are benefiting from stable pound returns amid controlled exchange movements.
