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 UAE Dirham has decreased -0.15% year-to-date against the Pakistan Rupee. Over the past 10 years, the Dirham has appreciated +167.18% against the Rupee. The currency is abbreviated as AED and symbolized by د.إ.
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, requiring State Bank interventions. 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.
2025-26 Performance
The highest rate in 2025 was 79.868 PKR on March 10, 2025, while the lowest was 75.817 PKR on January 10, 2025. The average exchange rate over this period was 76.694 PKR. The AED/PKR rate is up +0.55%, meaning the Dirham increased in value compared to the Rupee. In the last 10 years, the highest rate was Rs. 83.881 on September 5, 2023.
