Pakistan’s open currency market remained largely stable, as major foreign currencies traded within a narrow range, supported by steady inflows from overseas Pakistanis. The movement reflected balanced demand and regular remittance activity from key regions.
The US Dollar (USD) was traded at Rs 281.05 for buying and Rs 283.30 for selling, showing limited volatility. Dollar inflows from Pakistanis working and studying in North America continued supporting household expenses and savings back home.
The Saudi Riyal (SAR) stood at Rs 74.80 (buying) and Rs 75.40 (selling). With a large Pakistani workforce employed across Saudi Arabia, consistent monthly transfers kept the riyal’s movement steady in the open market.
The UAE Dirham (AED) was exchanged at Rs 76.40 for buying and Rs 77.05 for selling. Remittances from the UAE remained a key support for families in Pakistan, especially for daily household needs.
The Omani Riyal (OMR), one of the higher-value Gulf currencies, was recorded at Rs 728 (buying) and Rs 738 (selling). Transfers from Pakistanis working in Oman continued contributing to stable inflows.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) traded at Rs 201.50 for buying and Rs 204.00 for selling, reflecting steady remittance activity from skilled professionals and students settled in Canada.
The British Pound (GBP) was noted at Rs 375 for buying and Rs 378 for selling, supported by regular inflows from Pakistani workers and families based in the United Kingdom.
Overall, Pakistan’s open market maintained a balanced tone, as sustained remittances helped limit sharp fluctuations and supported the rupee during the session.
