Major international currencies, including the US dollar, British pound, euro, UAE dirham and Saudi riyal, remained among the most closely monitored currencies in Pakistan’s foreign exchange market on August 27.
The US dollar was quoted at Rs277.90 for buying and Rs278.65 for selling, while the euro stood at Rs323.27 for buying and Rs327.71 for selling.
The British pound remained significantly stronger against the rupee, with buying and selling rates of Rs376.97 and Rs380.25, respectively.
The UAE dirham was being bought at Rs75.60 and sold at Rs76.50, while the Saudi riyal stood at Rs73.90 for buying and Rs74.60 for selling.
The dirham and riyal are closely watched in Pakistan due to the large number of Pakistani workers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia and the substantial remittances sent home from the two countries.
