UAE Dirham Steady at 76.53 Against Pakistani Rupee

KARACHI/DUBAI: The UAE Dirham is trading at PKR 76.53 on October 13, 2025. This reflects relative stability in the exchange rate. The AED to PKR rate remains a key benchmark for Pakistani workers in the UAE. It also guides trade and travel decisions between the two nations. Over the past week, the rate has shown very little movement, staying between 76.61 and 76.62.

The UAE Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar, making it a stable currency. It supports one of the region’s strongest economies. Pakistan’s Rupee, on the other hand, operates under a managed float system. It moves based on market forces and central bank decisions. The Rupee remains under pressure due to inflation and economic challenges. These factors affect the AED to PKR exchange rate regularly.

In 2024, the average rate was 75.83 PKR per Dirham. So far in 2025, the Rupee has weakened slightly. The lowest point this year was PKR 75.49 in March. Today’s rate shows the Dirham has gained 1.29% year-on-year. Small monthly increases also indicate gradual changes rather than major swings.

This exchange rate impacts workers, traders, and travelers alike. A worker sending 5,000 AED will now send around PKR 382,650. Businesses importing from the UAE face higher costs when the Rupee weakens. However, Pakistani exporters to the UAE may benefit from a stronger Dirham. Travelers also feel the impact, as 1,000 AED now costs PKR 76,530.

The Dirham’s steady performance reflects Pakistan’s efforts to stabilize its economy. However, global oil prices and local policies still affect the rate. Remittance flows from over 1.7 million Pakistanis in the UAE remain critical. As economic reforms continue, the exchange rate will stay under close watch in the months ahead.
