Karachi, November 5, 2025 – The US Dollar (USD) continued to trade steadily against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Wednesday, reflecting a cautious yet stable trend in Pakistan’s foreign exchange market.
According to the latest update at 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one US Dollar was recorded at Rs281.40, while the selling rate stood at Rs281.90.
These rates are subject to change throughout the day, depending on market demand, global currency trends, and economic indicators that influence foreign exchange liquidity. The buying rate represents the price at which banks or exchange companies purchase US Dollars from customers, whereas the selling rate is the rate offered when selling US Dollars to customers.
The USD/PKR exchange rate is largely influenced by Pakistan’s balance of payments, foreign reserves, import payments, and remittance inflows. Any fluctuation in the international value of the US Dollar or changes in Pakistan’s economic indicators — such as inflation, interest rates, or trade deficit — can directly impact the exchange rate movement.
Financial experts note that the US Dollar remains the most traded and influential currency in Pakistan, serving as a benchmark for other exchange rates. Moreover, variations in interbank and open market rates are normal due to differences in liquidity and operational margins across exchange companies and banks.
Individuals and businesses involved in foreign transactions are advised to check real-time exchange rate updates before conducting currency conversions to ensure the most accurate rates.
