Dollar and Other Currency Rates Today in Pakistan \u2013 November 20, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Currency Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    US Dollar (USD) \u2013 280.65 (spot)<\/strong>
    The greenback fell by 6 paisa<\/strong>, reducing its November gain to just 9 paisa and maintaining the 279\u2013282 range<\/strong> seen since late October. One-week forwards stand at 280.85<\/strong>, indicating minimal carrying cost of 0.08%<\/strong>, showing that liquidity is balanced and the central bank is not actively intervening.
    A senior dealer commented: \u201cExporters sell above 281, while oil importers buy below 280.50. This balance looks stable until the next IMF review.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Saudi Riyal (SAR) \u2013 74.83<\/strong>
    The Riyal eased by 2 paisa<\/strong>, trimming its monthly gain to 5 paisa. Forward premiums remain below 3.5% annualized<\/strong>, keeping Hajj remittance hedging affordable. Exchange houses in Karachi report strong walk-in demand from pilgrims seeking to lock in rates before the December rush.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    UAE Dirham (AED) \u2013 76.42<\/strong>
    The Dirham slipped 1 paisa<\/strong>, with a six-month forward at 77.74<\/strong>, translating to 3.4% annualized PKR softness<\/strong>. Treasury desks note more UAE-based employers are sending salaries through official channels, supporting PKR stability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Qatari Riyal (QAR) \u2013 77.00<\/strong>
    QAR lost 1 paisa<\/strong>, trading at a 1.6% premium over SAR due to cross-rate differences rather than Pakistan-specific factors. One-year forward is 80.31<\/strong>, reflecting a 4.3% annualized PKR depreciation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) \u2013 913.10<\/strong>
    The dinar eased Rs2.2<\/strong>, with a twelve-month forward at 960.29<\/strong>, implying 5.2% annualized Rupee weakness<\/strong>, slightly higher due to lower liquidity rather than macro concerns.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Bahraini Dinar (BHD) \u2013 744.41<\/strong>
    BHD fell 13 paisa<\/strong>, six-month forward is 755.33<\/strong>, annualized 2.9%. Dealers do not expect a breakout from the 740\u2013750 range<\/strong> this fiscal year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Australian Dollar (AUD) \u2013 181.69<\/strong>
    The Aussie touched a two-month low as iron-ore futures dropped under $100\/t and the RBA signaled a December pause. One-year forward is 189.59<\/strong>, showing 4.3% PKR depreciation, largely driven by commodity price swings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    Canadian Dollar (CAD) \u2013 199.63<\/strong>
    The Loonie fell below 200, with twelve-month forwards at 211.44<\/strong>, indicating 5.9% annualized PKR weakness. Traders expect any further drop to be limited by seasonal import demand.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Market Outlook<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Narrow forward premiums, ranging just 5\u20136% even for less-liquid currencies, indicate confidence in the State Bank\u2019s ability to maintain PKR stability<\/strong> during the winter remittance season.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Foreign reserves<\/strong> increased by $1.5 billion in six weeks<\/strong>, reaching $14.8 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        Unless crude oil prices spike above $90 or political uncertainties disrupt IMF programs, traders expect USD\/PKR to remain between 279\u2013282<\/strong> for the rest of 2025, with other major currencies following the same trend.<\/p>\n
