Karachi, August 4, 2025 – The exchange rate between the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) and the British Pound (GBP) witnessed a slight decline in the rupee’s value as trading began in the open market on Monday.
According to market data, exchange companies were buying the UK Pound (GBP) at PKR 377.06 and selling it to the general public at PKR 378.77 on Saturday, August 2, 2025. This marks a marginal depreciation of the PKR when compared to Friday’s rates, where the buying and selling prices stood at PKR 374.35 and PKR 376.13, respectively.
The PKR’s weakening against the GBP reflects current demand and supply trends in the open currency market. The buying rate refers to the rate at which banks or exchange companies acquire GBP from customers, while the selling rate represents the amount a customer pays in PKR to purchase the British Pound.
The GBP to PKR parity is not fixed by any authority and is influenced entirely by market dynamics such as remittances, trade payments, and foreign investment flows. As fluctuations continue, both individuals and businesses dealing in foreign transactions remain alert to shifts in the GBP/PKR exchange rate, anticipating further volatility in the days ahead.
