Pakistani Rupee Is Trading Steady as Dollar, Riyal, Dirham and Pound Show Open Market Movement

The Pakistani rupee is showing mixed performance in the open market today as major foreign currencies are trading with mild fluctuations, reflecting demand related to trade, travel, and overseas employment.
The US Dollar is trading around Rs 281 on the buying side and Rs 283 on the selling side in the open market. The greenback is remaining in focus as Pakistan is managing import payments and external obligations, while businesses are continuing to monitor dollar availability closely.
At the same time, the Saudi Riyal is trading near Rs 74.80 for buying and Rs 75.45 for selling. The Riyal is staying important for Pakistan due to strong labor ties with Saudi Arabia, where millions of Pakistani workers are currently employed. Remittances from the Kingdom are continuing to support household incomes across Pakistan.
The UAE Dirham is moving around Rs 76.60 for buying and Rs 77.50 for selling. Demand for the Dirham is remaining steady as Pakistani workers, traders, and travelers are staying connected with the UAE’s economy, especially Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Meanwhile, the UK Pound Sterling is trading at approximately Rs 378.75 on buying and Rs 382.75 on selling. The Pound is maintaining strength due to higher demand linked to education expenses, family settlements, and trade payments with the United Kingdom.
The Canadian Dollar is trading close to Rs 204 for buying and Rs 208 for selling. Interest in the Canadian Dollar is increasing as Pakistani students and skilled workers are continuing to move to Canada, keeping transaction demand active.
The Omani Riyal is trading around Rs 728.65 for buying and Rs 738.65 for selling in the open market. Oman remains an important destination for Pakistani labor, and regular remittance inflows are supporting currency activity.
Overall, the rupee is moving cautiously as market participants are watching global trends, oil prices, and Pakistan’s external financing outlook. Overseas Pakistanis are continuing to play a stabilizing role through remittances, while local businesses are adjusting to day-to-day exchange movements.
