On August 6, 2025, the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar (USD) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market stood at a buying rate of Rs 284.34 and a selling rate of Rs 285.15.
These rates are updated daily at 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), but they are subject to frequent changes throughout the day based on market conditions and currency demand.
The buying rate refers to the price at which an exchange company or bank purchases one dollar from a customer, while the selling rate indicates the rate at which the dollar is sold to customers. These figures are determined by supply and demand in the open currency market and can be influenced by a range of factors including international trade balances, remittances, interest rate changes, and geopolitical developments.
The dollar-rupee exchange rate holds significant importance for Pakistan, as the U.S. dollar is widely used in global trade, investments, and remittances. Even slight movements in the rupee’s value against the dollar can impact import costs, foreign debt repayments, and the general price level of goods in the country.
Since rates can vary by city or exchange company, it is advisable for individuals and businesses to confirm the current dollar-rupee rates before making any currency transactions.
