Karachi, October 16, 2025 – The UAE Dirham (AED) continues to demonstrate stability against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market. As of 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Dirham was recorded at Rs 76.76, while the selling rate stood at Rs 77.55.
These updated rates reflect early morning trading trends and can fluctuate throughout the day depending on foreign exchange demand, remittance inflows, and global market activity. The Dirham is among the most traded foreign currencies in Pakistan, mainly due to the large number of expatriate workers residing in the United Arab Emirates who regularly send remittances back home.
The buying rate refers to the price at which banks and exchange companies purchase foreign currency from customers, whereas the selling rate shows the price at which they sell it to the public. The difference between these two values covers operational costs, transaction margins, and market fluctuations.
The Dirham-to-Rupee parity depends largely on open market dynamics and Pakistan’s balance of payments position. A strong inflow of remittances from the UAE often strengthens the Rupee, while changes in oil prices, import payments, and global economic shifts can impact the Dirham exchange rate.
Travelers, traders, and overseas Pakistanis are advised to check the latest Dirham rates before making currency conversions, as foreign exchange prices may change several times during the day.
