Karachi: The US dollar is trading steadily in Pakistan’s open market today, showing balanced demand as businesses and overseas earners are continuing to depend on the world’s most widely used currency.
The dollar is currently being bought at Rs. 280.70 and sold at Rs. 282.40, reflecting stable activity against the Pakistani rupee. The narrow trading band is indicating that the market is moving cautiously without sharp fluctuations.
Importers are continuing to use the greenback for payments related to machinery, fuel, and raw materials, while at the same time Pakistan’s growing freelance community is bringing in regular dollar earnings from global clients.
Thousands of IT professionals, software developers, and remote workers are receiving payments in dollars, and these inflows are helping strengthen household incomes across major cities.
Economic observers are saying the steady dollar is providing temporary comfort to businesses planning their costs and families receiving remittances.
For now, the USD is continuing to act as the backbone of Pakistan’s foreign trade and digital economy.
