Karachi, October 16, 2025 – The UK Pound Sterling (GBP) maintained a strong position against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market today. As of 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Pound stood at Rs 375.68, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 379.55.
These rates reflect early market updates and are subject to change throughout the day based on market activity, international trade flows, and currency demand. The Pound, one of the world’s most influential currencies, often mirrors the strength of the UK economy and global investor confidence in British markets.
The buying rate represents the amount that exchange companies and banks pay customers when purchasing foreign currency, whereas the selling rate indicates the amount charged to customers when selling the Pound. The margin between these rates accounts for operational costs and market volatility.
The Pound-to-Rupee exchange rate is influenced by several factors, including movements in the Bank of England’s interest rates, UK inflation data, and international market trends. Similarly, Pakistan’s import and remittance flows from the United Kingdom play a vital role in shaping the daily demand for the Pound.
For travelers, students, and businesses engaged in trade with the UK, monitoring live currency updates is crucial. Since foreign exchange markets fluctuate rapidly, checking the latest Pound rates before making transactions ensures better value and timely financial decisions.
