Karachi, April 2, 2025 – The latest currency exchange rates in Pakistan for Wednesday, April 2, 2025, have been announced, reflecting the closing figures from the last trading session.
Due to the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays, financial markets remain closed until April 2, 2025. The foreign exchange market remains a crucial indicator of economic activity, influencing trade, investments, and inflation in the country.
The exchange rate fluctuations play a vital role in Pakistan’s economy, impacting import and export businesses, overseas remittances, and the purchasing power of consumers. The value of the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) against major global currencies determines the cost of foreign goods and services, affecting inflationary trends. The foreign exchange market is sensitive to multiple factors, including global economic conditions, monetary policies, and geopolitical developments.

The Euro (EUR), a key currency in global finance, is valued at PKR 301.5 for buying and PKR 304.25 for selling.
Among regional currencies, the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) holds significant importance due to a large number of Pakistani expatriates working in the UAE. The AED exchange rate stands at PKR 75.9 for buying and PKR 76.55 for selling. Similarly, the Saudi Riyal (SAR), another crucial currency for remittances, is being traded at PKR 74.35 for buying and PKR 74.9 for selling.
The exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar (CAD) is noted at PKR 195.85 for buying and PKR 198.25 for selling, while the Australian Dollar (AUD) is trading at PKR 176.5 for buying and PKR 178.75 for selling. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen (JPY), which holds significance in financial markets, is valued at PKR 1.87 for buying and PKR 1.93 for selling.
Currency exchange rates are subject to fluctuations due to market dynamics, supply and demand, and global economic conditions.
