Karachi, October 22, 2025 – The US Dollar (USD) slightly strengthened against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Wednesday. As per the latest market update, the buying rate of one US Dollar stood at Rs281.57, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs282.10.
These rates were last updated at 9:10 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and are subject to change throughout the day based on market activity, foreign currency demand, and economic developments. The buying rate represents the price at which banks and exchange companies purchase US Dollars from customers, whereas the selling rate is the rate at which they sell the currency to buyers.
The USD to PKR exchange rate continues to fluctuate due to multiple factors, including global oil prices, foreign reserves, import payments, and inflation trends. Additionally, movements in the international forex market and US Federal Reserve policies also play a major role in influencing the Rupee’s performance.
Experts note that the Pakistani Rupee may remain under pressure due to high import bills and external debt repayments, though improved remittance inflows could provide short-term support.
Citizens are advised to monitor daily updates from reliable exchange companies or financial institutions, as rates may vary across locations and can change several times during trading hours.
