Foreign Currency Exchange Rates in Pakistan – July 17, 2025

Karachi, July 17, 2025 – The latest foreign currency exchange rates in Pakistan opened with modest fluctuations on Thursday, reflecting global economic trends and local demand dynamics.

These foreign currency rates are applicable at the start of the trading day and are subject to change based on real-time market activity in the open market.

Dealers reported that exchange rate movement is being closely watched as the Pakistani rupee continues to experience mild pressure against key international currencies. The foreign currency market in Pakistan remains highly sensitive to global geopolitical tensions, remittance flows, and monetary policies of major economies such as the US and EU.

The US Dollar (USD), a major benchmark in currency trade, was seen being bought at Rs288 and sold at Rs288.5. The British Pound Sterling (GBP), another widely traded foreign currency, stood strong at Rs387 on the buying side and Rs391 on the selling side. The Euro (EUR) also held its ground, with buying at Rs335.25 and selling at Rs338.5, driven by recent policy announcements by the European Central Bank.

Among regional currency rates, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) was trading at Rs76.75 (buying) and Rs77.5 (selling), while the UAE Dirham (AED) was being exchanged at Rs78.75 and Rs79.5, respectively. These rates are particularly significant given their link to overseas Pakistani workers’ remittances from the Gulf region.

Other notable foreign currencies include the Canadian Dollar (CAD), trading at Rs211 for buying and Rs216 for selling, and the Australian Dollar (AUD), quoted at Rs186.5 (buying) and Rs191.5 (selling). The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) remains one of the highest-valued currencies, with buying at Rs930 and selling at Rs942.
