Currency Profiles: AED and PKR
The UAE Dirham (AED), established as the official currency of the United Arab Emirates in 1973, is pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 3.6725 AED to 1 USD, as maintained by the Central Bank of the UAE. This fixed peg ensures the AED’s stability, making it a reliable and trusted currency 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 oversight of the State Bank of Pakistan, subject to fluctuations driven by domestic economic conditions, global market trends, and geopolitical developments.
Economic Impact on Pakistan
Today’s rise in the AED-PKR exchange rate amplifies the economic dynamics between the UAE and Pakistan. For the millions of Pakistani expatriates working in the UAE, the stronger Dirham significantly boosts remittance values, which reached $717.2 million in June 2025, according to State Bank of Pakistan data, reinforcing the UAE’s position as Pakistan’s second-largest remittance source after Saudi Arabia. These funds are critical, enhancing household incomes and stimulating economic activity in local markets across Pakistan. However, the higher exchange rate elevates the cost of importing goods from the UAE, from luxury items to essential commodities, posing challenges for Pakistani businesses and consumers. The AED’s peg to the US Dollar may further strain Pakistan’s trade balance and increase debt servicing costs for loans denominated in USD or AED. Economic analysts urge Pakistani policymakers to prioritize export growth and monetary measures to stabilize the PKR, addressing these economic pressures.
