Today’s AED to PKR Rate Shock: Stable at – Future Predictions Inside!
Today’s Rate (February 15, 2026): Right now, 1 UAE Dirham is worth about 76.10 to 76.20 Pakistani Rupees in the mid-market.
- Open market buy/sell might vary slightly: Around 76.00–76.50 for buying Dirham, and up to 76.50–77.00 for selling (depending on your city exchanger or bank).
- For remittances (like from Dubai/Abu Dhabi to Pakistan), you might get closer to 76.50–77.00 with some services after fees.
This means:
- 100 AED ≈ 7,610–7,620 PKR
- 1,000 AED ≈ 76,100–76,200 PKR
- 5,000 AED (a common remittance amount) ≈ 380,500–381,000 PKR
The rate has been pretty stable in early 2026, hovering between 75.60 and 76.80 so far this year. No big jumps or drops recently – thanks to the Dirham being pegged to the US Dollar (fixed at 3.67 AED = 1 USD), while PKR moves with Pakistan’s economy, inflation, IMF deals, and global oil prices.
Why the Rate Stays in This Range?
- UAE’s strong economy (oil, tourism, trade) keeps Dirham rock-solid.
- Pakistan’s side: High imports, energy costs, and rupee pressure from dollar strength keep PKR weaker.
- Remittances from UAE (one of Pakistan’s biggest sources) help balance things, but global factors like oil prices and interest rates play a big role.
Future Predictions – 2026 to 2030 Outlook Experts and trend models suggest the AED will likely stay strong or slowly gain against PKR over the next few years. Here’s a realistic breakdown:
- End of 2026: Could settle around 75.50–77.00 PKR per AED (slight dip possible if PKR stabilizes with better exports/IMF support, or rise if inflation hits hard). Average forecast: ~76 PKR.
- 2027: Might climb to 76–78 PKR range. Some models see it touching 77–80 if Pakistan faces more rupee pressure from debt or energy crises.
- 2028–2030: Longer-term, predictions point to 80–90+ PKR per AED by late 2020s, or even higher (up to 100–120 in extreme scenarios) if PKR weakens further due to ongoing economic challenges. But if Pakistan boosts exports, remittances grow, or gets major investments, it could hold steadier around 75–85.
Bottom line: For Pakistanis in UAE or families back home, the Dirham remains a reliable, strong currency. If you’re planning big transfers, remittances, or investments – now’s a decent window since it’s not spiking wildly. But watch for small monthly fluctuations!
