Foreign currencies are continuing to trade with mixed but stable momentum against the Pakistani rupee in the open market today, as demand from trade, travel, and remittance activity is remaining active across the country.
According to market updates, the US dollar is buying at Rs 280.70 and selling at Rs 282.70. Importers are carefully planning payments, while exporters are adjusting invoices as the rupee is showing controlled movement rather than sharp volatility.
The Saudi riyal is buying at Rs 74.80 and selling at Rs 75.30, reflecting steady Umrah travel demand and consistent remittance inflows from Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia. Families receiving riyals are continuing to rely on these transfers for household expenses, education, and healthcare.
Meanwhile, the Omani riyal is trading at Rs 728.70 for buying and Rs 738.70 for selling. Pakistani workers in Oman are actively sending money home, and these remittances are strengthening financial stability in many middle-class households.
The UAE dirham is buying at Rs 76.45 and selling at Rs 77.30, remaining one of the most trusted currencies for Pakistan’s overseas workforce. Millions of Pakistanis working in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are supporting their families through regular monthly transfers.
On the Western side, the British pound is buying at Rs 376.50 and selling at Rs 379.50, while the Canadian dollar is buying at Rs 200.50 and selling at Rs 204.85. Students, professionals, and business communities connected with the UK and Canada are closely watching these rates due to education fees, immigration costs, and trade payments.
Market observers are saying that Pakistan’s foreign exchange market is currently showing relative stability compared to previous months. The rupee is not facing sudden pressure, while foreign currencies are moving in narrow ranges.
Overseas Pakistanis are continuing to play a key role in supporting the economy through remittances, which remain one of Pakistan’s largest sources of foreign exchange. Analysts believe that if remittance inflows remain strong, the rupee may continue to avoid sharp depreciation in the near term.
