UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee Rate- October 1, 2025

Karachi/Dubai, October 01, 2025: The UAE Dirham (AED) has eased to 76.59 Pakistani Rupee (PKR) on Wednesday, reflecting a slight drop of 0.02 PKR from yesterday’s rate of 76.61 PKR, as confirmed by trusted financial sources monitoring interbank and open market activities.

AED to PKR- Daily Updates

This adjustment follows a standout June, when the AED surged by 0.81 PKR, rising from 76.44 PKR to 77.25 PKR and peaking at 77.6111 PKR on July 1, 2025. The Dirham’s minor retreat underscores subtle market shifts, yet its resilience highlights the United Arab Emirates’ sturdy economic framework and its position as a global financial leader.

The AED-PKR rate is shaped by a blend of fixed and floating currency systems. The UAE Dirham is firmly pegged to the US Dollar at 3.6725 AED per USD, a policy maintained by the Central Bank of the UAE since 1997 to ensure stability and attract global investment. This peg aligns the Dirham’s value with USD fluctuations, influenced by US Federal Reserve actions, oil market trends, and the UAE’s trade surplus. The Pakistani Rupee, however, floats on the open market, its value molded by supply-demand forces, driven by Pakistan’s export-import balance, foreign reserves, inflation rates, and geopolitical stability. Today’s rate of 76.59 PKR per AED at 08:07 PM PKT on October 01, 2025, indicates a slight Dirham weakening, reflecting market adjustments and providing a balanced indicator for financial transactions.

UAE’s Strategic Economic Policies: A Model of Resilience

The UAE’s economic vitality underpins the Dirham’s strength, fueled by innovative policies that enhance its global standing. Moving beyond oil dependency, the nation has invested in cutting-edge sectors like artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and tourism, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi emerging as economic powerhouses. The UAE Vision 2031 prioritizes fiscal innovation, business-friendly regulations, and infrastructure growth, drawing over $20 billion in foreign investment in 2025, per World Bank estimates. The Central Bank’s proactive oversight, supported by robust reserves and inflation controls, shields the Dirham from volatility. This strategic framework sustains the currency’s value at 76.59 PKR today, reinforcing the UAE’s reputation as a pillar of economic strength.

Impact on Pakistani Expats in UAE and Their Families

For the 1.5 million Pakistani expatriates thriving in the UAE, today’s AED rate of 76.59 PKR offers a marginal remittance advantage compared to yesterday’s 76.61 PKR. These workers, engaged in construction, retail, and professional roles, remitted $717.2 million in June 2025, per State Bank of Pakistan data, positioning the UAE as Pakistan’s second-largest remittance source after Saudi Arabia. The slight Dirham drop translates to a few extra rupees per dirham, enhancing family support in Pakistan for education, healthcare, and housing in regions like Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, invigorating local economies and poverty alleviation. However, the rate still elevates costs for importing UAE goods—such as electronics and food—challenging Pakistani consumers amid inflationary trends.
