Karachi, August 5, 2025 – The exchange rate of the UAE Dirham (AED) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) showed slight stability in the open market on Tuesday.
As of 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate for one UAE Dirham was recorded at Rs 77.40, while the selling rate stood at Rs 77.60.
These rates reflect real-time currency trends driven by global market activity and domestic foreign exchange demand. The buying rate is the price in rupees at which banks or money exchange companies purchase one Dirham from customers, whereas the selling rate indicates the amount in rupees required to buy one Dirham from these institutions.
The Dirham-to-rupee exchange rate is crucial for millions of Pakistanis working in the UAE, whose remittances in Dirhams form a vital part of Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves. A stronger Dirham means more rupees for families receiving money from the Gulf, while a stronger rupee can reduce the cost of imports from the UAE.
The UAE Dirham/rupee parity also impacts trade, travel, and investment between the two countries. Market analysts suggest that any fluctuation in oil prices, interest rate changes in the UAE, or shifts in Pakistan’s monetary policy could influence the Dirham-rupee exchange rate.
As rates may vary slightly between cities and exchange outlets, it is advisable for customers to compare before converting large amounts of Dirham or rupee in the open market.
