Karachi, January 28, 2026 — The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Wednesday released the official daily interbank foreign exchange rates to provide guidance to banks, businesses, and currency market participants across the country.
The interbank rates reflect the indicative buying and selling prices of major foreign currencies against the Pakistani rupee, as quoted by commercial banks for trade-related and customer transactions. These rates play a key role in determining import and export payments, remittances, and overall currency market trends.
According to the SBP, the US dollar continued to trade close to the Rs280 level in the interbank market, while other major currencies such as the euro, British pound, and Swiss franc also remained firm amid global economic uncertainties and regional demand pressures.
