UAE Dirham Holds Steady Against Pakistani Rupee on July 21, 2025

Karachi: On Monday, July 21, 2025, the latest exchange rates for the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) were released in the open market. The buying rate for the Dirham stands at Rs. 78.50, while the selling rate is Rs. 79.40.
The UAE Dirham holds significant importance for Pakistan due to the large number of Pakistani expatriates working in the Emirates who regularly send remittances back home. The stability in the Dirham’s value not only ensures the consistent inflow of remittances but also contributes to the country’s foreign exchange reserves and overall economic health.
Exchange rates play a crucial role in a nation’s economy. A strong exchange rate helps reduce import costs and control inflation, while a weaker rate can boost exports. For overseas Pakistanis, especially those residing in the UAE, these rates directly impact the value of the money they send home.
Monitoring exchange rates is vital for businesses, travelers, and policymakers to make informed financial decisions and maintain economic stability.
In May 2025 alone, Pakistani workers in the UAE remitted $754.2 million, making the Emirates the second-largest source of remittances to Pakistan after Saudi Arabia. This steady inflow of funds has played a vital role in supporting Pakistan’s economy.
