Karachi, August 20, 2025 – The latest currency exchange rates were released on Wednesday, providing a snapshot of the open market trading trend in Pakistan.
These rates reflect the initial levels of buying and selling activity in the currency exchange market, which plays a crucial role in both domestic and international trade.
Analysts note that fluctuations in currency exchange values are influenced by global demand, remittances, international trade settlements, and monetary policy decisions. The U.S. dollar, British pound, and euro continue to dominate trading, while Gulf currencies such as the Saudi riyal, UAE dirham, and Kuwaiti dinar remain stable due to their direct linkage with oil trade and expatriate remittances.
In Karachi, traders observed marginal variations compared to the previous session, with the U.S. dollar maintaining steady ground while regional currencies like the Indian rupee and Chinese yuan showed limited movement. Investors and importers closely track these changes to assess their impact on commodity pricing and cross-border transactions.
