On April 5, 2025, the exchange rate of the UAE Dirham (AED) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) showed a slight increase in the open market.
According to the most recent update issued at 8:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate for one UAE Dirham was Rs 76.11, while the selling rate was Rs 76.74.
This represents a marginal upward shift compared to the previous day. On April 4, 2025, the buying rate was recorded at Rs 76.05, and the selling rate was Rs 76.73. Though the change appears minor, such fluctuations can have a notable impact on remittances and financial transactions, especially for those dealing in foreign currency on a regular basis.
The UAE Dirham holds particular importance in Pakistan’s exchange market due to the close economic ties between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates. Millions of Pakistani expatriates live and work in the UAE, and they routinely send remittances back home in UAE Dirhams. These inflows significantly affect the demand and supply of AED in Pakistan, influencing the local exchange rates.
The buying rate refers to the amount in Rupees that a bank or exchange company is willing to pay to purchase UAE Dirhams from a customer. Conversely, the selling rate is the amount a customer pays in Rupees to acquire Dirhams. These rates are dynamic and change according to market forces such as global economic conditions, demand for foreign currencies, and geopolitical developments.
As of April 5, 2025, anyone intending to exchange Pakistani Rupees for UAE Dirhams—whether for travel, business, or remittance purposes—should be aware of these current market rates. The value of the UAE Dirham relative to the Rupee plays a crucial role in determining the affordability of travel and the actual value received through overseas remittances.
Staying up to date with daily changes in the PKR to UAE Dirham rate is essential for making well-informed financial decisions. On April 5, 2025, the rate reflects stable market conditions with a slight appreciation of the UAE Dirham in the open market.
