KARACHI: As of Sunday, June 22, 2025, the foreign currency exchange rates in Pakistan reflect the closing values from the previous day’s trading session. Due to the weekly public holiday on Sunday, there is no activity in the open market, and the exchange rates remain unchanged until the next business day.
Currency traders and exchange companies in Pakistan reported steady demand and supply across major global currencies, with the currency exchange rates largely influenced by recent global market trends, remittance flows, and economic indicators. The local market continues to closely monitor fluctuations in international markets, particularly with the US dollar, which remains the most traded foreign currency in Pakistan.
As per Saturday’s market close, the US Dollar was being traded at a buying rate of Rs283.60 and a selling rate of Rs285.85. The Euro followed as one of the highest-valued currencies, quoted at Rs326.10 for buying and Rs329.10 for selling. The British Pound Sterling maintained its strength with buying and selling rates of Rs382.10 and Rs386.10, respectively.
Among regional currencies, the Saudi Riyal was being exchanged at Rs75.60 for buying and Rs76.40 for selling, while the UAE Dirham stood at Rs77.25 and Rs78.15, respectively. These Middle Eastern currencies continue to be vital due to the high volume of remittances sent by overseas Pakistani workers in the Gulf.
The Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and Swiss Franc also showed stability in the open market. The Swiss Franc was recorded at Rs344.04 buying and Rs346.79 selling, reflecting investor interest in safe-haven currencies. Similarly, the Canadian Dollar ranged between Rs201.85 and Rs206.85, while the Australian Dollar was quoted at Rs180.75 to Rs184.10.
Asian currencies like the Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen remained comparatively low in value, with the Yuan trading at Rs39.12 for buying and Rs39.52 for selling, and the Yen at Rs1.96 and Rs2.06, respectively.
The consistency in the currency exchange rates over the weekend provides a temporary pause for businesses and investors to assess upcoming market trends. As the new week begins, analysts expect fluctuations depending on global commodity prices, inflation data, and central bank policy signals. For now, these currency values offer a snapshot of current economic confidence and market positioning in Pakistan’s foreign exchange landscape.
