Major foreign currencies are continuing to trade steadily in Pakistan’s open market today, supported by ongoing overseas remittances and balanced demand from businesses. The US dollar, Saudi Riyal, Omani Riyal, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, and UAE Dirham are remaining among the most actively monitored currencies.
The US dollar is currently being bought at Rs. 281.00 and sold at Rs. 283.05, as import-related demand is staying stable. The dollar’s movement is directly influencing prices of fuel, raw materials, and consumer goods across Pakistan.
The Saudi Riyal is standing at Rs. 74.90 for buying and Rs. 75.50 for selling, reflecting steady remittance flows from Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia. These inflows are continuing to provide crucial foreign exchange support to the country.
In the Gulf region, the Omani Riyal is trading at Rs. 729.10 on the buying side and Rs. 739.10 on the selling side. Pakistanis working in Oman are keeping a close watch on the rates, as the strong currency is improving the value of funds sent back home.
The Canadian Dollar is being bought at Rs. 202.50 and sold at Rs. 205.00, supported by growing migration and educational links between Pakistan and Canada. Families are increasingly depending on these transfers for tuition fees and living expenses.
Meanwhile, the British Pound is trading at Rs. 378.50 for buying and Rs. 382.50 for selling, remaining one of the highest-valued currencies in the open market. Pakistani workers and students in the UK are benefiting from favorable exchange returns.
The UAE Dirham is holding at Rs. 76.65 for buying and Rs. 77.50 for selling, as remittances from the UAE continue to arrive steadily. The dirham remains vital due to strong labor and trade relations between the two countries.
Overall, the open market is showing controlled movement, with exchange rates reflecting steady remittances, manageable import demand, and cautious economic optimism in Pakistan.
