Karachi, May 28, 2025 – The financial landscape in Pakistan today reflects a moment of national pride, as markets across the country remain closed in observance of Youm-e-Takbeer, commemorating Pakistan’s historic entry into the nuclear club. As a result, the latest currency exchange rates available are based on Tuesday’s closing figures.
The currency exchange rates are an essential reference point for traders, businesses, overseas Pakistanis, and individuals involved in international transactions. These rates indicate how much local currency is required to buy or sell a foreign currency, and they fluctuate based on market dynamics, international demand, and geopolitical developments. Despite today’s market closure, the latest currency exchange rates offer valuable insights for planning and forecasting.
According to the latest available data, the US Dollar (USD) was trading at a buying rate of Rs. 282.65 and a selling rate of Rs. 284.30. The UK Pound Sterling (GBP) remained one of the strongest currencies in the market, with a buying rate of Rs. 383.50 and a selling rate of Rs. 387.00. The Euro (EUR) also maintained its strength, being traded at Rs. 322.25 for buying and Rs. 325.00 for selling.

It is important for investors and the public to stay updated with the currency exchange rates, especially amid ongoing global economic uncertainties. These latest currency exchange rates not only reflect economic sentiment but also influence remittance flows, import-export decisions, and inflationary trends in Pakistan.
As markets resume tomorrow, any significant shifts in global or regional economies could lead to adjustments in these rates.
