Dirham Strengthens to PKR 77.56 on July 19, 2025; Stability Seen Ahead
On July 19, 2025, the UAE dirham (AED) was valued at PKR 77.56 in Pakistan’s interbank rate, slightly firm compared to recent averages. In the open market, the rate hovered around PKR 79.40, reflecting a small premium over interbank levels.
| Detail | Rate / Range |
|---|---|
| Interbank Rate (Mid-Market) | 77.56 PKR |
| Open Market Rate | 79.40 PKR |
| 7‑Day Interbank High | 77.80 PKR |
| 7‑Day Interbank Low | 77.42 PKR |
| Month Average (Interbank) | ~77.42–77.80 PKR |
Financial experts note that the dirham’s strength stems from its peg to the US dollar at a fixed rate (1 USD ≈ 3.6725 AED), making AED/PKR movements closely track USD/PKR trends. Analysts point out that steady remittance inflows from the UAE and stable central bank policy in Pakistan have limited fluctuations. With the dollar showing global softness, the dirham has followed suit, allowing the rupee to claw back modest value.

Short-term forecasts indicate that the AED/PKR rate will likely remain within the 77.0 to 78.0 interbank range, while the open market may trade between 78.5 and 80.0. Continued remittance flows, central bank liquidity support, and any easing in USD strength could push the rupee towards the stronger end of this range. Conversely, a sudden uptick in oil prices or dollar demand may reverse these gains.
