The pound is staying strong against the rupee due to steady service payments and education-related foreign expenses, which are influencing overall currency demand.
Canadian Dollar (CAD to PKR)
The Canadian dollar is trading at Rs 203.28 (buying) and Rs 203.64 (selling) in interbank, while open market rates are Rs 202.20 (buying) and Rs 207.46 (selling).

Omani Riyal (OMR to PKR)
The Omani riyal is holding at Rs 722.00 (buying) and Rs 732.79 (selling) in the open market, while interbank activity remains limited. The riyal is being supported by consistent remittance inflows from Gulf-based workers, which are helping maintain liquidity in Pakistan’s foreign exchange system.
Overall, the Pakistani rupee is continuing to adjust within a narrow range, as external payments and remittances are balancing each other in the short-term forex flow structure. Trade-linked currency demand remains the key driver of daily fluctuations, especially in the USD and GBP segments.
