On August 6, 2025, the exchange rate of the UAE Dirham (AED) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market was recorded at a buying rate of Rs 77.39 and a selling rate of Rs 77.60.
These rates are updated daily at 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and are subject to change throughout the day, depending on fluctuations in currency demand and global economic trends.
The buying rate is the price at which an exchange company or bank purchases foreign currency, such as the Dirham, from a customer. On the other hand, the selling rate is the price at which the currency is sold to the customer. These rates are determined by open market conditions and influenced by various factors including international remittances, trade balances, inflation, and central bank policies.
The Dirham-to-rupee exchange rate holds special importance for Pakistan due to the large Pakistani workforce residing in the United Arab Emirates, which contributes significantly to remittance inflows. Even a small fluctuation in the Dirham-rupee parity can impact household budgets and financial planning for families relying on remittances.
People and businesses involved in international transactions are advised to monitor real-time Dirham-rupee rates before exchanging or sending money, as market dynamics can shift rapidly.
