Karachi, October 25, 2025 – The exchange rate of the United States Dollar (USD) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market remained relatively stable on Saturday.
As per the latest market data updated at 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one US Dollar stood at Rs 281.57, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 282.05.
These figures reflect the ongoing foreign exchange trends in Pakistan’s open market, where rates fluctuate based on demand, supply, and broader global economic movements. Exchange companies and banks in major financial centers, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, regularly adjust their rates in response to changes in international trade and currency flows.
The buying rate indicates the price at which an exchange company or bank purchases US Dollars from customers, whereas the selling rate represents the rate at which they sell US Dollars. The slight difference between these rates covers operational costs and reflects daily market liquidity conditions.
The USD to PKR exchange rate is influenced by multiple factors such as foreign remittances, import payments, export receipts, and global market sentiment toward the US Dollar. As the most traded foreign currency in Pakistan, the US Dollar plays a crucial role in stabilizing local forex reserves and influencing import-export dynamics.
