Karachi – Pakistan’s interbank foreign exchange market remains largely stable on Saturday, April 11, 2026, with the US dollar trading at Rs. 278.90 for bank buying and Rs. 279.40 for bank selling, according to the latest updates.
The dollar continues to trade just below the Rs. 280 level, a range that remains highly important for Pakistan’s economy because it directly affects import payments, fuel pricing, industrial raw material costs, and external debt obligations. Since the interbank market serves as the primary channel for commercial banking transactions and international settlements, the dollar’s movement remains a key indicator for the rupee’s overall position.
The British Pound Sterling remains one of the strongest major currencies in the interbank market, where it is quoted at Rs 374.45 for buying and Rs 375.12 for selling. The pound’s firm position remains relevant for remittance inflows from the United Kingdom as well as education and service-related payments.
At the same time, the Euro stays strong above the Rs. 326 level, trading at Rs. 326.71 for buying and Rs. 327.30 for selling. The euro’s performance remains significant for trade settlements with European markets, particularly in machinery, pharmaceutical, and industrial imports.
Among regional currencies, the Saudi Riyal stands at Rs 74.32 for buying and Rs 74.46 for selling, reflecting steady conditions in Gulf-linked currency flows. This rate remains especially important for overseas Pakistanis sending remittances from Saudi Arabia.
Other major currencies, including the Swiss Franc, Singapore Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and Chinese Yuan, also maintain relatively firm positions in the banking channel.
Overall, the latest interbank rates reflect a stable foreign exchange environment, with direct implications for Pakistan’s trade costs, import pricing, remittance inflows, and broader inflation outlook.
