Dubai/Karachi- June 14, 2025: The UAE Dirham (AED) continues its upward trend against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR), trading at 77.04 PKR today, marking a steady rise from 76.96 PKR yesterday and 76.44 PKR earlier this week.
UAE Dirham- AED RATE LATEST
The consistent appreciation of the Dirham reflects the UAE’s robust economic policies and Pakistan’s ongoing currency challenges.
Why is the AED Rising Against the PKR?
The exchange rate between AED and PKR is influenced by multiple factors, including:
Strong UAE Economy: The UAE’s diversified economy, driven by oil exports, tourism, and financial services, keeps the Dirham stable.
Remittance Demand: Millions of Pakistani expatriates in the UAE send money home, increasing demand for AED and strengthening its value.
Pakistan’s Economic Pressures: High inflation, trade deficits, and political uncertainty weaken the Rupee, making the Dirham more valuable in comparison.
USD Peg: Since the AED is pegged to the US Dollar (1 AED ≈ 0.27 USD), its strength often mirrors the Dollar’s performance against other currencies.
Impact on Expats and Trade
Positive for Pakistani Workers: A stronger Dirham means higher remittance value, giving families in Pakistan more Rupees for every AED sent.
Costlier Imports for Pakistan: Since Pakistan imports goods from the UAE, a weaker Rupee could increase prices of electronics, machinery, and petroleum products.
UAE’s Economic Policies Boosting the Dirham
The UAE’s strategic economic reforms, including business-friendly regulations, tax incentives, and foreign investment initiatives, have strengthened its currency. Additionally, rising oil prices and a thriving non-oil sector contribute to the Dirham’s stability.
About the Currencies
UAE Dirham (AED): Introduced in 1973, the Dirham is the official currency of the UAE and is pegged to the US Dollar. It is one of the most stable currencies in the Middle East.
Pakistani Rupee (PKR): The official currency of Pakistan since 1948, the Rupee has faced depreciation over the years due to economic instability and external debt pressures.
As the UAE Dirham maintains its upward trajectory, analysts suggest that the PKR may remain under pressure unless Pakistan implements stronger fiscal reforms. For now, expatriates and businesses will continue to monitor exchange rate shifts closely.
