Karachi/Dubai, December 26, 2025 – The UAE Dirham (AED) fell to 76.27 Pakistani Rupees (PKR) today, down 0.10 PKR from yesterday’s close of 76.37 PKR. The AED to PKR pair continues a gradual decline seen over the past month.
This level marks the lowest value of the Dirham against the PKR since early September. Analysts say the decline provides some relief to the 1.5 million Pakistanis working in the UAE. Every Dirham exchanged now delivers slightly more rupees to families back home.
Experts cite multiple factors behind the movement. Sustained PKR strength from foreign inflows and positive economic sentiment in Pakistan has supported the currency. Meanwhile, UAE traders are engaging in year-end profit-taking. Subtle global USD weakening also contributes to the slight decline in AED to PKR rates.
Despite the drop, the Dirham has appreciated approximately 0.83 PKR (+1.1%) year-to-date from January’s average of 75.44 PKR. However, over the last ten weeks, the currency has slid from the mid-year high of 77.32 PKR.
For overseas workers, the change means a modest gain in remittances. A worker sending 4,000 AED now converts roughly 305,080 PKR, slightly higher than before. This extra 400 PKR per salary can cover groceries or school supplies for many families.
Quick AED to PKR numbers:
- Today (Dec 26): 76.27 PKR (−0.10 PKR)
- Yesterday: 76.37 PKR
- 7-day high: 76.50 PKR
- 30-day average: 76.41 PKR
- 2025 high (July): 77.61 PKR
- 2025 low (Jan): 75.44 PKR
Looking ahead, analysts forecast the AED to PKR rate to stay between 76.00 and 76.80 during the first quarter of 2026. If PKR momentum continues, a further dip toward 75.80 PKR is possible. Conversely, firm oil prices could push the Dirham back above 77 PKR.
The Dirham remains a reliable currency for overseas Pakistanis. Today’s decline still provides extra rupees to families, ensuring continued support amid market fluctuations.
