Currency Fundamentals
UAE Dirham: The Central Bank of the UAE maintains a fixed peg at 3.6725 AED per US Dollar since 1997, ensuring exceptional stability. The currency plays a significant role in Middle Eastern trade, supported by the UAE’s robust economy driven by oil exports and international commerce.
Pakistani Rupee: The Pakistani Rupee is subdivided into 100 paise and is not considered a reserve currency. Operating under a managed float mechanism, the Rupee adjusts to trade balance variations, foreign exchange reserves, inflation pressures, and remittance inflows from over 1.5 million Pakistani expatriates working in the UAE.
Key Drivers
Pakistan’s elevated inflation compared to the UAE’s near-zero inflation continuously affects the Rupee’s purchasing capacity. The UAE serves as Pakistan’s second-largest remittance source after Saudi Arabia, with consistent inflows reinforcing currency stability. Global oil prices impact both economies asymmetrically—benefiting the UAE as an exporter while straining Pakistan as an importer.

The highest rate in 2025 was 79.868 PKR on March 10, while the lowest was 75.817 PKR on January 10, 2025. The average exchange rate over this period was 76.691 PKR, with the AED/PKR rate up +0.52%. The 12-month range shows a high of 79.8671 on March 10, 2025, and a low of 75.4904 on March 30, 2025.
