Investors, traders, and businesses involved in foreign transactions will need to take note of these rates to plan their activities accordingly.
The foreign exchange market in Pakistan has been experiencing fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including global economic trends, the country’s trade balance, and recent monetary policy actions. As a result, the exchange rates for major international currencies have been updated to reflect the latest trading activity. These fluctuations are essential for businesses and individuals who regularly deal in foreign currencies, as they influence the costs of imports, exports, and remittances.
The US Dollar, a critical currency in global finance, is currently being exchanged at a buying rate of 280.4 PKR and a selling rate of 281.9 PKR. This slight shift in the exchange rate highlights the ongoing economic adjustments in Pakistan, which continues to manage its foreign reserves and external trade balance. The Dollar remains a key benchmark in the country’s financial transactions, and these rates are crucial for businesses dealing with international partners.
Meanwhile, the British Pound Sterling, another significant currency, is being traded at 361.5 PKR for buying and 365 PKR for selling. This currency is particularly important in trade relations between Pakistan and the United Kingdom. The exchange rates for the Pound Sterling also reflect the global financial conditions, including the economic outlook of the UK and its relationship with Pakistan.
The Euro, which is a major currency for trade within the European Union, stands at a buying rate of 301.5 PKR and a selling rate of 304.25 PKR. As one of the primary currencies for international business, the Euro’s performance plays an important role in Pakistan’s trade and financial transactions with the Eurozone.
For remittance-dependent economies like Pakistan, the Saudi Riyal remains crucial, and its exchange rates are now set at 74.35 PKR for buying and 74.9 PKR for selling. These rates are particularly relevant for Pakistanis receiving remittances from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the largest sources of remittance inflows to the country. Similarly, the United Arab Emirates Dirham is being exchanged at 75.9 PKR for buying and 76.55 PKR for selling, further underscoring the importance of the Gulf region in Pakistan’s remittance inflows.

The Chinese Yuan, reflecting Pakistan’s growing trade ties with China, is now valued at 37.59 PKR for buying and 37.99 PKR for selling. This currency plays a significant role in Pakistan’s economic landscape, particularly given the bilateral trade agreements between the two countries.
As the foreign exchange market in Pakistan plays a pivotal role in influencing trade, investment, and overall financial stability, the closing exchange rates for March 31, 2025, are an important snapshot for individuals and businesses alike. These rates will remain fixed until the financial markets reopen on April 2, 2025. However, traders and businesses should be aware that exchange rates may fluctuate once the market resumes trading, driven by global financial developments, geopolitical events, and shifts in economic indicators.
For those engaged in foreign transactions, whether for business or personal reasons, staying informed about the latest currency exchange rates is essential for making sound financial decisions.
