AED to PKR: UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee Today- Feb. 2, 2026

Karachi/Dubai- February 2, 2026: The UAE Dirham has snapped a two-day dip, surging 38 paisas to Rs 76.54 against the Pakistani Rupee in early inter-bank and open-market trade, forex dealers told Business Finance Desk.

1. Dollar surge: hotter-than-expected US PCE inflation data pushed the greenback to a six-week high; the AED’s 3.67 peg followed suit.

2. Weekend remittance rush: UAE banks report 18 % higher wire volumes as expats lock in rates before the 3-day private-sector break.

3. PKR supply bulge: month-end import payments worth $450 million drained Rupee liquidity, widening the AED/PKR spread.

The rebound wipes out yesterday’s 76.16 low and re-aligns the pair with the 76.30–76.80 corridor that has dominated 2026 so far.

Instant gain for families

A Dubai taxi driver sending 2,500 AED home today pockets Rs 191,350—Rs 950 more than Thursday—enough to buy a month of groceries in Multan or pay a semester fee for a government college in Islamabad. Monthly flows from the UAE are now tracking $760 million, State Bank data shows, keeping Pakistan’s current-account deficit in check.

“With Brent holding above $79 and US payrolls next week, the Dirham could test 76.80 before mid-February,” says Sara Qureshi, currency strategist at Emirates Forex. “On the flip side, any fresh Saudi or Chinese deposit could pull the pair back to 76.00.”
