AED to PKR: UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee Rate Today- Jan. 29, 2026

UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee exchange rate eased to Rs 76.16 on Thursday, 29 January 2026, shedding 38 paisas from last week’s four-month high of Rs 76.54, live interbank and open-market quotes show.

The pullback keeps the AED/PKR pair inside the well-worn 76.00–76.80 range that has prevailed since November 2025.

Why the Dirham softened today

Profit-taking on recent dollar-long positions after softer-than-expected US Q4 GDP data trimmed Fed rate-hike bets.

Month-end liquidity flush in UAE banks diluting routine Dirham demand.

Mild PKR support as Pakistan’s reserves nudge $11.3 billion on fresh IMF tranche approval.

Despite the dip, the Emirati currency remains 0.95 % stronger year-to-date versus the Rupee, extending 2025’s 1.2 % annual advance.

Slightly lighter wallets, but stability intact

For Pakistan’s 1.6 million expatriates in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, today’s 38-paisa drop translates into a modest Rs 380 reduction on a typical 1,000 AED remittance. A driver sending home 4,000 AED now pockets roughly 304,640 PKR—still sufficient to cover two months of household rent in Lahore or Karachi. The UAE continues to funnel $720–750 million monthly to Pakistan, cushioning current-account pressures ahead of February’s external debt servicing.

2026 forecast

Currency desks at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank see the AED/PKR pair stabilising between 76.00 and 76.80 through Q1 2026. A rebound toward 76.70 is likely if Brent crude reclaims $80, while a slide to 75.80 could emerge should Pakistan secure an additional $2 billion Saudi deposit, pushing reserves above $13 billion.
Key takeaway

The UAE Dirham’s dollar-pegged regime continues to deliver low-volatility transfers for Pakistani workers. Today’s 38-paisa retreat is minor in percentage terms, yet it serves as a reminder to lock in rates when the Dirham spikes.
