Karachi: Pakistan’s currency market is continuing to reflect economic pressures as major foreign currencies are trading at significant levels against the Pakistani Rupee.
The US Dollar is currently buying at Rs. 280.30 and selling at Rs. 282.25, and it is remaining the central driver of economic activity. Import payments, fuel settlements, and external debt servicing are increasing dollar demand. Businesses are adjusting pricing models as the Rupee is staying under pressure. Exporters are benefiting from higher conversion values, while consumers are experiencing rising costs of imported goods.
At the same time, the British Pound is trading at Rs. 381.76 for buying and Rs. 385.53 for selling. The strong pound is continuing to support remittance inflows from the United Kingdom. Families receiving transfers are experiencing stronger household liquidity. However, students paying UK tuition fees are facing higher rupee conversion costs as the pound remains above Rs. 380.
The Omani Riyal is standing at Rs. 726.28 buying and Rs. 735.78 selling, making it one of the highest-valued currencies in the market. Remittances from Oman are converting into significant rupee amounts, strengthening domestic consumption. Real estate investments and family expenditures are increasing as overseas income is flowing back home.
Meanwhile, the UAE Dirham is trading at Rs. 76.30 for buying and Rs. 77.30 for selling. Since the Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar, it is moving in alignment with dollar trends. With millions of Pakistanis working in the UAE, remittances are continuing to stabilize foreign exchange reserves and support economic activity.
The Saudi Riyal is buying at Rs. 74.70 and selling at Rs. 75.30. Religious travel, oil-related transactions, and remittance flows are keeping SAR demand steady. Families dependent on Gulf earnings are benefiting from stronger rupee conversions.
The Canadian Dollar is trading at Rs. 204.23 buying and Rs. 207.78 selling. Education transfers, immigration-linked payments, and remittances from Canada are influencing demand patterns.
Overall, Pakistan’s economy is adjusting to global currency movements. As USD remains at Rs. 280.30 and GBP at Rs. 381.76, inflationary pressure is continuing, while remittance inflows are providing partial stability. The Rupee is navigating a challenging external environment as trade flows and foreign obligations are shaping exchange rate momentum.
