Karachi, October 31, 2025 – The US Dollar (USD) traded steadily against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Thursday, reflecting a balanced demand and stable forex activity.
As of 9:10 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one US Dollar was Rs 281.45, while the selling rate stood at Rs 281.96.
These rates are updated regularly throughout the day and may fluctuate depending on market conditions, foreign currency demand, and economic developments both locally and globally. The USD/PKR exchange rate serves as a key indicator of Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves, import payments, and remittance inflows.
The buying rate represents the price at which banks or exchange companies purchase US Dollars from customers, whereas the selling rate indicates the price at which they sell Dollars to buyers. The slight variation between the two, known as the spread, helps institutions cover transaction costs and manage currency risk.
The value of the Pakistani Rupee against the Dollar is influenced by multiple factors, including global oil prices, US Federal Reserve policy, and Pakistan’s balance of payments situation.
Since the exchange rate can fluctuate multiple times a day, individuals and businesses are advised to check real-time currency updates before making foreign exchange transactions.
