The Pakistan Stock Exchange environment is reflecting broader economic trends as the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) is continuing to show pressure against major international currencies.
The US Dollar (USD) is currently trading at Rs. 279.30 (buying) and Rs. 280.35 (selling). The dollar is remaining strong, and this strength is directly impacting Pakistan’s import bill. As Pakistan is relying heavily on imports such as fuel, machinery, and raw materials, the rising dollar is increasing overall costs and is contributing to inflation.
The British Pound (GBP) is standing at Rs. 373.19 (buying) and Rs. 377.25 (selling). The pound is staying at a higher level, which is affecting trade and education-related payments, especially for Pakistani students and businesses dealing with the UK.
In the Gulf region, the UAE Dirham (AED) is being traded at Rs. 75.55 (buying) and Rs. 76.90 (selling), while the Saudi Riyal (SAR) is moving at Rs. 73.80 (buying) and Rs. 74.75 (selling). These currencies are playing a key role in Pakistan’s economy as remittances from overseas workers are coming in these currencies. The stability in AED and SAR is supporting remittance inflows.
The Omani Riyal (OMR) is remaining one of the highest-valued currencies at Rs. 716.00 (buying) and Rs. 726.10 (selling). Its high value is reflecting strong exchange positioning, and remittances from Oman are contributing positively to Pakistan’s foreign reserves.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) is trading at Rs. 200.43 (buying) and Rs. 205.50 (selling). Trade relations with Canada are continuing, particularly in education and exports, making CAD an important currency for Pakistan.
Overall, the rupee is showing mixed performance, while global currencies are maintaining strength. This trend is influencing inflation, trade balance, and economic stability in Pakistan.
