As of today, October 11, 2025, one Omani Riyal (OMR) is worth about 731.07 Pakistani Rupees (PKR). For anyone keeping an eye on the OMR to PKR exchange rate, this week brought a slight dip, with the Riyal softening by roughly 0.65% since Monday’s high of 735.80 PKR.
The Omani Riyal, symbolized by ﷼, is a powerhouse currency, pegged to the US Dollar at 2.6008 since 1986. Backed by Oman’s oil-driven economy, it’s a symbol of stability in the Gulf. The Pakistani Rupee (₨), on the other hand, is more of a rollercoaster, managed by the State Bank of Pakistan. It’s a floating currency, swayed by inflation, remittances, and global events, which makes it prone to swings.

This week, the OMR/PKR pair hovered tightly, dipping from 735.80 to 731.07 by Saturday. The Riyal’s value leans heavily on Oman’s oil exports—think $75-80 per barrel lately—while the PKR gets a boost from Pakistan’s $2.5 billion monthly remittances, many from Omani workers. Other factors at play? Pakistan’s 12% inflation versus Oman’s 2%, the US Fed’s moves (since OMR tracks the dollar), and Pakistan’s 20% interest rate to steady the Rupee. Technically, the rate’s near its 50-day average of 732 PKR, with no wild swings signaled yet.
For everyday people, this matters. A Pakistani worker in Muscat earning 500 OMR sends home around 365,535 PKR—enough for a family to cover rising costs like rice, up 15% this year. This week’s slight PKR gain means a bit more cash for households. Trade-wise, Oman and Pakistan swapped $1.2 billion in goods last year, with Pakistan shipping textiles and Oman exporting oil. A softer Riyal could make Omani oil pricier for Pakistan, but it might help Pakistani exporters compete. Travelers also feel the pinch—1,000 PKR now buys about 1.37 OMR for a flight to Muscat, a tad more than last week.
Valuation Criteria: What Drives the OMR/PKR Rate?
Understanding the valuation of OMR against PKR requires examining key forex fundamentals. Since the OMR is USD-pegged, its value mirrors the greenback’s strength—bolstered by Oman’s petroleum exports (over 60% of GDP) and steady oil prices hovering around $75-80 per barrel this month. A dip in crude could pressure the OMR downward.
Conversely, PKR valuation hinges on:
- Inflation Differentials: Pakistan’s CPI at ~12% vs. Oman’s ~2%, eroding PKR purchasing power but prompting SBP interventions.
- Remittance Flows: Gulf workers sent $2.5 billion to Pakistan last month; stronger OMR means more PKR value for Omani-based remitters.
- Interest Rates and Reserves: US Fed signals (affecting OMR) vs. Pakistan’s 20% policy rate to curb depreciation.
- Geopolitical Stability: Oman’s neutral diplomacy vs. Pakistan’s IMF-backed reforms.
Technical indicators like the 50-day moving average (around 732 PKR) suggest neutral momentum, with RSI at 45 indicating no overbought/oversold extremes. For investors, a break below 730 PKR could signal further softening.
