KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan has published its latest mark-to-market revaluation rates for Tuesday with all major international currency rates against PKR, mainly the US Dollar, Saudi Riyal, UAE Dirham, UK Pound and Canadian Dollar.
US Dollar (USD)
The greenback opens the month at 278.4634 PKR for spot transactions, maintaining its position within the familiar 278–280 band that has defined interbank activity through much of 2026. The marginal softening from mid-May levels suggests measured central bank guidance, with the SBP likely intervening to prevent excessive volatility while preserving reserve buffers. The 1-year forward rate of 292.1822 PKR indicates markets are pricing in gradual rupee depreciation over the coming twelve months.
FOREX RATES – LATEST UPDATES
Saudi Riyal (SAR)
The riyal from the Kingdom is quoted at 74.1995 PKR today. As the currency of choice for Pakistan’s largest overseas workforce, the SAR rate holds outsized importance for millions of families who depend on monthly remittance flows from Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. The peg to the US dollar ensures the riyal moves in lockstep with greenback fluctuations, offering stability to both senders and recipients.
UAE Dirham (AED)
The Emirati dirham stands at 75.8208 PKR, reflecting its rigid dollar peg. With the UAE ranking among Pakistan’s top remittance corridors, this rate serves as a critical reference for workers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the northern emirates. The consistency of the AED/PKR pair provides a degree of predictability in an otherwise uncertain economic environment.
Qatari Riyal (QAR)
Qatar’s currency is marked at 76.3907 PKR in today’s SBP circular. The rate matters significantly for the Pakistani community engaged in Qatar’s infrastructure and service sectors, as well as for businesses involved in bilateral trade and LNG-related transactions.
Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)
The Kuwaiti dinar retains its crown as the highest-valued currency in the SBP’s table, trading at 907.6382 PKR. Backed by substantial hydrocarbon wealth and prudent fiscal stewardship, the dinar’s elevated rate translates into substantial remittance value for Pakistani workers in the emirate, even as the currency’s limited float keeps movements tightly constrained.
Bahraini Dinar (BHD)
The dinar from Manama is set at 738.6198 PKR. Bahrain hosts one of the oldest Pakistani expatriate communities in the Gulf, and the BHD rate remains a key metric for households with breadwinners employed in the kingdom’s financial and service sectors.
Australian Dollar (AUD)
The Aussie dollar is valued at 200.0342 PKR today. Sensitive to commodity price swings and Reserve Bank of Australia policy signals, the AUD has shown measured movement. The rate is particularly relevant for Pakistani students enrolled in Australian universities and for importers sourcing agricultural and mineral commodities from down under.
Canadian Dollar (CAD)
The loonie trades at 201.1946 PKR, providing a reference point for Canada’s sizeable Pakistani diaspora. With significant communities in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, the CAD rate influences both remittance decisions and educational funding arrangements across the trans-Pacific corridor.
