Karachi, October 27, 2025 – The US Dollar (USD) continued to trade steadily against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Monday, showing minor fluctuations influenced by ongoing market trends.
As of October 27, 2025, the buying rate for one US Dollar stood at Rs 281.52, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 282.05.
These exchange rates were last updated at 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and can change during the day depending on market forces, foreign exchange demand, and global economic factors. Variations often occur due to international trade activity, remittance flows, and central bank interventions.
In currency exchange, the buying rate refers to the amount that banks or exchange companies pay customers when purchasing US Dollars, while the selling rate is the amount they charge when selling the currency. The difference between these two rates, known as the exchange spread, reflects service charges and transaction costs applied by exchange companies.
The USD/PKR exchange rate is largely driven by open market demand and supply, influenced by key factors such as Pakistan’s import requirements, foreign investment inflows, and movements in the US Dollar Index globally.
Given that the US Dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency, its exchange rate in Pakistan serves as a major benchmark for both businesses and individuals, impacting imports, exports, and inflation trends.
