KARACHI – The foreign currency exchange rates in Pakistan for Sunday, July 13, 2025, reflect the closing values from the previous trading day, as the open market remains closed on Sundays due to the weekly holiday.
These rates serve as a vital benchmark for currency traders, travelers, remittance senders, and import-export businesses across the country.
The value of foreign currencies plays a significant role in Pakistan’s economy, influencing trade, investment, and inflation trends. On Saturday’s closing, the US Dollar was quoted at a buying rate of Rs. 287.1 and a selling rate of Rs. 287.6, indicating slight fluctuations amid global market pressures and domestic demand. Similarly, the UK Pound Sterling remained strong, with buying and selling rates recorded at Rs. 390.1 and Rs. 394.1, respectively.
Among Gulf region currencies, the Saudi Riyal and UAE Dirham—key for remittance inflows from overseas Pakistani workers—stood at Rs. 76.6 and Rs. 78.3 (buying), while selling rates were Rs. 77.2 and Rs. 79, respectively. The Kuwaiti Dinar and Omani Riyal, two of the highest-valued foreign currencies against the rupee, also remained stable, offering strong conversion values to Pakistani expatriates in those countries.
The Euro showed minor variation, maintaining buying and selling rates of Rs. 335.6 and Rs. 339.1. Meanwhile, the Canadian Dollar stood at Rs. 210.1 for buying and Rs. 215.1 for selling, reflecting demand from both business travelers and immigrants. The Australian and New Zealand Dollars also posted stable exchange margins, catering to students and emigrants from Pakistan.
Asian currencies such as the Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Thai Baht, and Indian Rupee remained mostly steady, with modest spreads between buying and selling rates. These foreign currency rates are particularly monitored by importers and investors dealing with goods and services from the Asian region.
Overall, the foreign exchange market in Pakistan continues to observe measured movement in currency rates due to a combination of external economic factors and local monetary policies. The State Bank of Pakistan and market operators keep a close watch to ensure transparency and stability in the trading of foreign currency. Exchange companies and banks will resume transactions with updated rates on Monday.
