Karachi: The British Pound is trading at a higher level against the Pakistani Rupee on 17 April 2026, reflecting its continued strength in global markets.
In the interbank market, the Pound is being traded at Rs. 377.15 (buying) and Rs. 377.83 (selling), while in the open market, it is being quoted at Rs. 376.78 (buying) and Rs. 384.00 (selling).
The Pound’s higher value is impacting Pakistan’s import costs from the United Kingdom, particularly in education, services, and specialised goods.
At the same time, remittances from the UK are benefiting from the stronger Pound, providing higher Rupee returns and supporting economic stability in Pakistan.
