Impact of AED to PKR Rate on Pakistanis in the UAE
The UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee rate is closely monitored by millions of overseas Pakistanis, especially those working in the United Arab Emirates. Over 1.5 million Pakistani expatriates live and work in the UAE — one of the largest overseas Pakistani communities in the world.
A higher Dirham rate means that remittances sent back home have greater value in Rupees, offering better support for families in Pakistan. Conversely, when the Rupee strengthens, overseas workers see a dip in the value of money converted back home.
For many Pakistani families, these daily exchange rate shifts can impact household budgets, education expenses, and savings.
Pakistan’s Remittance Performance – August 2025 Update
According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Pakistan recorded $3.1 billion in workers’ remittances during August 2025, reflecting a 6.6% increase compared to the same period last year.
Here’s a breakdown of remittance inflows by region:
| Country | Inflow (USD Millions) |
|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | $736.7 million |
| United Arab Emirates | $642.9 million |
| United Kingdom | $463.4 million |
| United States of America | $267.3 million |
Cumulatively, during the first two months of the 2025–26 fiscal year, Pakistan received $6.4 billion in remittances — a 7% increase year-on-year from $5.9 billion recorded during the same period last year.
These numbers highlight the critical role of overseas Pakistanis in supporting the country’s economy through remittances.
Why the AED to PKR Rate Matters
The AED to PKR exchange rate influences multiple areas of Pakistan’s economy:
-
💸 Remittances: A stronger Dirham means higher Rupee returns for overseas Pakistanis.
-
🧳 Travel & Tourism: Pakistanis traveling to Dubai or Abu Dhabi experience higher expenses when the Dirham appreciates.
-
🏦 Business & Imports: Importers face higher costs on goods purchased from the UAE, including oil, machinery, and electronics.
Thus, even small daily fluctuations can have a broad impact across sectors and households.
Summary – AED to PKR Rate on 6 October 2025
-
Buying Rate: Rs. 76.90
-
Selling Rate: Rs. 77.90
-
Change: +10 paisa increase from the previous day

Final Thoughts
The UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee rate has shown a modest rise today, offering a minor advantage to remittance earners. With consistent inflows from the Gulf region and strong remittance performance in recent months, Pakistan’s foreign reserves continue to receive healthy support.
However, currency experts suggest that future AED to PKR trends will depend on global oil prices, U.S. dollar movement, and local inflation control measures.
