Karachi/Dubai, July 30, 2025 – The UAE Dirham (AED) remains steady at 77.06 Pakistani Rupee (PKR) today, unchanged from yesterday’s rate of 77.06 PKR, as confirmed by verified data from leading financial sources tracking interbank and open market rates.AED to PKR- Daily UpdatesThis stability follows a robust performance in June, when the AED rose by 0.81 PKR, climbing from 76.44 PKR at the month’s start to 77.25 PKR by its end, peaking at 77.6111 PKR on July 1, 2025. The Dirham’s consistent strength highlights the United Arab Emirates’ forward-thinking economic strategies and its commanding role as a global financial hub.Currency Snapshot: AED and PKR ExplainedThe UAE Dirham (AED), the official currency of the United Arab Emirates since 1973, is pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 3.6725 AED to 1 USD, as regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE. This peg ensures the AED’s reliability, making it a trusted medium for international trade and investment across the UAE’s seven emirates. The Pakistani Rupee (PKR), Pakistan’s official currency since 1948, operates as a floating currency under the State Bank of Pakistan’s oversight, prone to shifts driven by domestic economic factors, global market trends, and geopolitical events.Pakistan’s Economic Landscape: Remittances vs. Trade PressuresToday’s stable AED-PKR exchange rate continues to shape the economic ties between the UAE and Pakistan. For the millions of Pakistani expatriates in the UAE, the strong Dirham boosts remittance values, which hit $717.2 million in June 2025, per State Bank of Pakistan data, cementing the UAE as Pakistan’s second-largest remittance source after Saudi Arabia. These funds fuel household incomes and spark economic activity in regions like Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, the elevated exchange rate keeps import costs high for UAE goods, from luxury items to everyday essentials, challenging Pakistani businesses and consumers. The AED’s US Dollar peg may further pressure Pakistan’s trade balance and raise debt servicing costs for USD or AED-denominated loans. Experts urge Pakistan to enhance export growth and stabilize the PKR to ease these pressures.UAE’s Economic Vision Drives Dirham’s ResilienceThe UAE’s economic dynamism stems from its bold shift from oil dependency to a diversified economy, with heavy investments in technology, green energy, and bustling trade and tourism sectors in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Supported by rigorous fiscal policies and world-class infrastructure, the UAE ranks among the globe’s top economies, drawing significant foreign investment, as highlighted in World Bank reports. The Central Bank of the UAE’s meticulous management ensures the Dirham’s dependability, reinforcing its status as a trusted currency for global trade. This economic vision sustains the AED’s value, as seen in today’s steady rate.
