KARACHI – On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, the exchange rate of the UAE Dirham (AED) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market stood at Rs 77.28 for buying and Rs 77.60 for selling.
These rates, updated at 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), may vary during the day depending on currency demand, supply, and broader foreign exchange market conditions.
The buying rate reflects the amount that an exchange company or bank offers when purchasing foreign currency from customers, while the selling rate is the price at which they sell the currency. The gap between the two rates, often called the spread, accounts for market volatility, operational costs, and risk factors.
The UAE Dirham is one of the most traded currencies in Pakistan due to strong economic ties with the United Arab Emirates and a significant Pakistani expatriate population working there. Remittances from the UAE play a crucial role in supporting Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves, making the Dirham a key currency in the open market.
The UAE Dirham/PKR exchange rate is determined by market forces, remittance inflows, and changes in international currency trends. Travelers, importers, and investors are advised to monitor updated UAE Dirham rates before making transactions to ensure they get the best possible value.
