Pakistani Rupee Holds Steady Against Major Currencies Amid Ongoing Market Trends
The Pakistani rupee (PKR) has remained relatively stable against major currencies in recent days. As of October 2, 2026, the US dollar (USD) is trading at a buying rate of 277.9 and a selling rate of 278.3. The exchange rates are closely monitored by overseas Pakistanis and investors due to their far-reaching consequences for trade balances, inflation, remittances, and investment.
The value of the PKR against other major currencies such as the euro (EUR), British pound (GBP), UAE Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR), Australian Dollar (AUD), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Swiss Franc (CHF), Japanese Yen (JPY), Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), Omani Riyal (OMR), and Qatari Riyal (QAR) also has significant implications for businesses, consumers, and the government. Fluctuations in exchange rates can affect foreign direct investment (FDI), with a stable exchange rate environment being more attractive to foreign investors.
The currency exchange rates in Pakistan's open market are as follows: EUR 316.5/322.35, GBP 366.93/372.2, AED 75.7/76.55, SAR 74.05/74.6, AUD 192.22/198.05, CAD 195.09/202.93, CHF 338.25/342.95, JPY 1.73/1.83, KWD 886.6/896.89, OMR 720.55/735.6, and QAR 75.08/76.15.
