KARACHI/DUBAI – The UAE Dirham (AED) eased slightly to 76.10 Pakistani Rupees (PKR) in today’s open market, down 0.02 PKR from yesterday’s close. The rate remains at the lower end of the narrow 76.00–76.50 PKR trading range that has persisted since late 2025.
The UAE Dirham continues to benefit from its tight peg to the US Dollar at 3.6725 AED per USD. This peg has been in place since 1997 and shields the Dirham from global currency fluctuations. Meanwhile, the Pakistani Rupee, though floating, is supported by steady foreign reserves and reliable remittance inflows. The combination keeps the UAE Dirham–PKR exchange rate stable.
For the estimated 1.5 million Pakistanis working in the UAE, today’s rate means every dirham sent home converts to 76.10 PKR. Monthly remittances from the UAE regularly exceed $700 million, providing essential support for families paying for school fees, medical costs, groceries, and utility bills. Even minor daily fluctuations in the UAE Dirham can have meaningful impacts on household budgets across Pakistan.
Analysts note that the calm performance of the UAE Dirham against the PKR provides predictability for both remittance senders and recipients. This stability helps families plan their finances and ensures continued economic support for millions.
Market data shows that the 7-day high for the UAE Dirham is 76.50 PKR, while the 30-day average sits around 76.35 PKR. The 2025 peak was 77.61 PKR in July, and the low was 75.44 PKR in January. Experts predict the AED–PKR pair will remain within the 76.00–77.00 range during the first half of 2026.
