Karachi, October 30, 2025 – The UAE Dirham (AED) maintained stability against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market today, as currency traders reported steady demand for Gulf currencies amid ongoing remittance inflows and seasonal travel activity.
As of 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one UAE Dirham was Rs76.80, while the selling rate stood at Rs77.58. These rates are determined by exchange companies and forex dealers across major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Minor variations may occur depending on market conditions and transaction volumes.
The buying rate reflects the price at which money changers purchase UAE Dirhams from customers, while the selling rate represents the amount at which they sell the currency. Both rates fluctuate daily, influenced by global oil prices, foreign remittances, and Pakistan’s external account position.
The AED to PKR exchange rate is largely driven by open market forces, including foreign currency demand from importers, travelers, and individuals sending remittances from the United Arab Emirates — one of the largest sources of foreign exchange for Pakistan.
Experts note that stability in the Dirham rate often signals a balanced supply of foreign currency inflows. Many Pakistani expatriates working in the UAE remit funds regularly, making the Dirham one of the most traded currencies in Pakistan’s forex market.
