Pakistan’s open market saw a phase of stability as major currencies—USD, SAR, AED, OMR, CAD, and GBP—settled at firm levels, largely because remittances from overseas Pakistanis continued to flow smoothly. These inflows earlier helped balance market pressures and supported routine household needs.
USD to PKR
The US Dollar stood at Rs 281.05 (buying) and Rs 283.30 (selling). The steady inflow from Pakistani workers and students in America helped soften the impact of global exchange shifts.
SAR to PKR
The Saudi Riyal earlier remained at Rs 74.80 (buying) and Rs 75.40 (selling). Remittances from workers in construction, transport, and service sectors in Saudi Arabia played a key stabilizing role.
AED to PKR
The UAE Dirham stood at Rs 76.40 (buying) and Rs 77.05 (selling). Pakistanis in the UAE—especially in retail, hospitality, and logistics—continued sending regular financial support to their families.
OMR to PKR
The high-value Omani Riyal settled at Rs 728 (buying) and Rs 738 (selling). Skilled Pakistani workers in Oman remained an important source of strong foreign inflows.
CAD to PKR
The Canadian Dollar earlier traded at Rs 201.50 (buying) and Rs 204 (selling). Many Pakistani families relied on steady remittances sent from Canada’s professional workforce.
GBP to PKR
The British Pound moved at Rs 375 (buying) and Rs 378 (selling). The UK’s Pakistani community continued to be a major financial contributor to Pakistan’s remittance strength.
Conclusion
The open market earlier benefited from a reliable stream of overseas inflows, which helped stabilize PKR and supported overall financial confidence across the country.
