The Pakistani Rupee held steady at PKR 76.45 against the UAE Dirham on Wednesday, November 13, 2025, edging close to record low levels. This marks sustained resilience in the Rupee despite continued external pressures.
The mid-week rate remains just above the November 12 low of PKR 76.4225, highlighting stability in the foreign exchange market. Analysts say this trend benefits cross-border transactions, remittances, and trade between Pakistan and the UAE.
Over the past 180 days, the Pakistani Rupee averaged 77.073 PKR per AED, with a low of 76.276 on August 3 and a high of 77.735 on July 21. Today’s rate is well below this benchmark, signaling improved currency positioning for importers and expatriates.
Economic factors influencing the Pakistani Rupee include trade deficits, remittance inflows, inflation, and global energy prices. Pakistan imports significant energy supplies from abroad, while the UAE remains a top source of remittances, supporting currency stability.
Expatriate workers benefit from the current rate. For instance, a UAE-based individual earning 5,000 AED monthly can transfer approximately PKR 382,250 home, providing consistent support for family expenses. Similarly, travelers to the UAE find 1,000 AED converts to PKR 76,450, sustaining affordable travel costs.
Business entities also gain from the steady Rupee. Importers see reduced costs for UAE merchandise, while exporters benefit from a stable trading environment, allowing effective financial planning and minimizing currency exposure.
The Pakistani Rupee has shown resilience throughout 2025, despite volatility earlier in the year. Rates touched a floor of 75.817 PKR on January 10 and climbed to a ceiling of 79.868 PKR on March 10. Year-to-date, the AED has appreciated +1.54% versus the Rupee, while the AED/PKR rate rose +0.89% in 2025.
Looking ahead, market experts expect the Pakistani Rupee to maintain strength near current levels, supported by robust remittance inflows and economic measures. Challenges remain from debt servicing and import demands, but the Rupee’s stability is encouraging for both individuals and businesses engaged in UAE-Pakistan transactions.
