Karachi, August 7, 2025 – The US Dollar (USD) continued to trade within a narrow range against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market.
As of 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one US Dollar was recorded at Rs 284.22, while the selling rate stood at Rs 285.15.
These rates reflect the pricing offered by currency exchange companies and banks based on real-time market trends. The buying rate is the amount that financial institutions offer when purchasing dollars from individuals, while the selling rate is the amount customers must pay to buy dollars. These rates are subject to daily fluctuations driven by currency demand, remittance inflows, trade volumes, and international economic developments.
The dollar-to-rupee parity is particularly sensitive to geopolitical shifts, import-export activities, monetary policy changes in the United States, and macroeconomic conditions within Pakistan. Due to the dollar’s global dominance, it remains the most actively traded foreign currency in Pakistan.
It is essential for individuals and businesses dealing with international transactions to closely monitor dollar-to-rupee rates, as minor changes can significantly impact the cost of imports, overseas education, travel, and remittances.
Since rates may vary slightly between different exchange companies and locations, it is advisable to confirm the latest dollar-rupee exchange rate before making any foreign currency exchanges.
