On August 6, 2025, the exchange rate of the UK Pound Sterling (GBP) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market was reported with a buying rate of Rs 377.03 and a selling rate of Rs 379.00.
These rates are updated daily at 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and are subject to variation based on fluctuations in the international currency markets and the demand for foreign exchange.
The buying rate refers to the price at which banks or exchange companies purchase the Pound from customers, while the selling rate is the price at which they sell the Pound to buyers. The Pound-to-rupee parity is determined by open market mechanisms and influenced by global economic indicators, trade flows, and investor sentiment.
The UK Pound holds significant importance in Pakistan’s foreign exchange dealings due to strong economic ties and a large Pakistani diaspora in the United Kingdom. As a result, changes in the Pound-rupee exchange rate can directly affect remittances, import costs, and overseas travel expenses.
Individuals and businesses dealing in foreign currency are advised to monitor the pound-rupee rates closely to make informed financial decisions, as currency values can shift rapidly within hours.
Currency rates may vary during the day, so timely verification is essential for traders, travelers, and overseas remittance recipients to avoid losses.
