Currency Rates in Pakistan Today - October 27, 2025

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has published the latest mark-to-market (M2M) currency rates for major international currencies against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) on October 27, 2025.

These rates, essential for authorized foreign exchange dealers to revalue their books daily, are based on the weighted average of the closing interbank exchange rate for the US Dollar (USD) from brokerage houses, with other currencies’ rates derived from USD/PKR data and their USD exchange rates on LSEG Workspace.

The US Dollar (USD) showed slight depreciation, trading at 281.0094 PKR in the spot market, with forward rates progressing to 293.3237 PKR for the one-year tenor. The Saudi Riyal (SAR) held steady at 74.9338 PKR for the spot rate, with its one-year forward at 77.5886 PKR. The United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) was at 76.5068 PKR, rising to 79.9465 PKR over one year. The Qatari Riyal (QAR) opened at 77.0966 PKR in the spot market, climbing to 80.4332 PKR for the one-year tenor.

The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) remained a powerhouse at 916.3251 PKR for the spot rate, with a one-year forward of 963.8658 PKR, highlighting sustained demand. The Euro (EUR) dipped to 326.5048 PKR in the spot market, with forward rates reaching 346.3640 PKR for one year. The Bahraini Dinar (BHD) stood at 745.4325 PKR, advancing to 774.2996 PKR in the one-year tenor. The British Pound (GBP) traded at 374.1078 PKR, with its one-year forward rate at 389.8122 PKR, reflecting consistent forward premium growth.

Analysts attribute the USD’s minor softening and the EUR’s slight decline to global economic fluctuations, while steady remittance inflows continue to support the PKR. Gulf currencies maintain their resilience, underpinned by stable regional economic conditions. The forward premiums suggest a cautious outlook for the PKR, with potential influences from global monetary policies, particularly from the US Federal Reserve.
