Karachi, October 18, 2025 – The British Pound Sterling (GBP) maintained a firm standing against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Saturday. As of 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate for one Pound Sterling was Rs 378.50, while the selling rate was Rs 381.95.
These currency rates are based on prevailing market dynamics and can fluctuate throughout the day depending on global exchange movements, import and export activity, and foreign currency demand in Pakistan. Exchange companies and banks regularly revise Pound to PKR rates to reflect real-time changes in the international forex market.
The buying rate refers to the price at which financial institutions or money changers purchase Pounds from customers, whereas the selling rate represents the price at which they sell Pounds to the public. This margin accounts for transaction costs, risk management, and market variations.
The UK Pound Sterling remains one of the most valuable and closely watched currencies in Pakistan due to the strong trade, travel, and remittance links between the United Kingdom and Pakistan. Any movement in the GBP/PKR exchange rate directly influences education payments, overseas remittances, and import costs.
Since exchange rates are determined by open market conditions, the Pound to Pakistani Rupee rate may vary during the day. Traders and travelers are encouraged to check the latest updates for accurate and timely information.
