Karachi, April 10, 2025 – The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has officially released the customer-level foreign exchange rates for April 10, 2025. These rates, calculated using the weighted averages of commercial bank transactions, serve as critical indicators for businesses, investors, and individuals involved in cross-border payments and international financial dealings.
More than just daily currency conversions, these rates play an integral role in shaping Pakistan’s external economic interactions. As the financial backbone for determining import/export costs, managing foreign remittances, and supporting global investment strategies, the SBP’s daily forex bulletin provides transparency and consistency in a fast-evolving global financial landscape.
For April 10, 2025, the SBP announced the following buying and selling rates (in Pakistani Rupees): the US Dollar was recorded at Rs. 280.3653 for buying and Rs. 280.7972 for selling. The Euro stood at Rs. 307.8691 for buying and Rs. 308.3399 for selling, while the British Pound was valued at Rs. 360.4817 and Rs. 361.0392, respectively. These values reflect the current dynamics in the global forex market, influenced by geopolitical shifts, central bank policy moves in major economies, and regional trade flows.
Gulf currencies also remained central to the exchange rate report. The UAE Dirham (AED) was posted at Rs. 76.3358 for buying and Rs. 76.4495 for selling. Meanwhile, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) was recorded at Rs. 74.6878 and Rs. 74.7994. These rates are especially significant given Pakistan’s large overseas workforce in the Middle East, with remittances forming a critical source of foreign exchange inflows.
From the Asia-Pacific region, the Chinese Yuan (CNY) was recorded at Rs. 38.1860 for buying and Rs. 38.2374 for selling, and the Japanese Yen (JPY) stood at Rs. 1.9109 and Rs. 1.9137, respectively. These values continue to be watched closely by trade analysts, particularly due to Pakistan’s strong trade partnerships with China and growing interest in East Asian markets.
Other notable rates include the Australian Dollar (AUD) at Rs. 173.4255 for buying and Rs. 173.6981 for selling, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) at Rs. 199.2535 and Rs. 199.5584, and the Swiss Franc (CHF) at Rs. 328.4372 and Rs. 328.9602. The consistency and slight adjustments in these rates mirror broader currency trends seen across global financial markets.
The SBP has emphasized that these rates are dynamic and subject to change based on market conditions. Therefore, businesses, importers, and the general public are advised to consult updated figures through official SBP publications or authorized banking channels before executing international transactions. These rates not only guide currency conversions but also provide a basis for risk management, pricing strategies, and investment planning in a globally connected economy.
Publishing these rates daily is part of the central bank’s larger mandate to ensure transparency, financial discipline, and public awareness in the foreign exchange sector. The SBP’s commitment to releasing accurate and timely forex data supports market confidence and helps stakeholders make informed decisions in a volatile economic environment.
As Pakistan continues to navigate economic reforms, external account balancing, and inflationary pressures, the SBP’s role in maintaining foreign exchange stability remains pivotal. These daily currency updates form part of a broader strategy to enhance fiscal resilience and ensure that the country’s engagement in the global financial ecosystem remains consistent, competitive, and transparent.
