The UAE Dirham (AED) to Pakistani Rupee exchange rate holds great importance as millions of Pakistanis work in the UAE. Its stability ensures consistent remittance value, bolstering Pakistan’s foreign reserves and household incomes.
For Pakistan, currency exchange helps determine the value of the Pakistani rupee against foreign currencies like the US dollar or the UAE dirham. A strong exchange rate boosts imports and lowers inflation, while a weak rate can increase export competitiveness.
Currency exchange is also crucial for overseas Pakistanis who send remittances. Monitoring exchange rates helps businesses, travelers, and policymakers make informed financial decisions and manage economic stability effectively.
Overseas Pakistanis residing in the UAE sent $754.2 million in the wake of remittances in May 2025, securing the second top position in the chart of workers’ remittances, as the first spot is held by Saudi Arabia.
