The United Arab Emirates Dirham is one of Pakistan’s most influential foreign currencies due to the country’s strong labor and remittance connections with the UAE.
Why the AED to PKR Rate Matters
More than 1.5 million Pakistani workers are currently employed in the United Arab Emirates, making it one of the largest overseas Pakistani communities. Their monthly remittances play a crucial role in Pakistan’s economy.
A stronger rupee means lower conversion value for remittances, while a weaker rupee benefits recipients at home by increasing the value of funds received.
Similarly, the AED to PKR rate impacts:
-
Families relying on monthly remittances from UAE-based workers.
-
Travelers visiting the UAE for business, tourism, or Umrah.
-
Importers conducting trade with UAE-based suppliers.
Pakistan’s Remittance Performance – August 2025
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reported strong remittance inflows during August 2025, highlighting Pakistan’s growing dependence on overseas workers’ income.
| Country | Remittances (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 |
According to the SBP, total workers’ remittances during August reached $3.1 billion, marking a 6.6% increase compared to the same month last year.
For the first two months of FY2025-26, cumulative remittances hit $6.4 billion, up 7% year-on-year, compared to $5.9 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
This steady growth reflects improved remittance flows from the Gulf region, particularly from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where a large share of Pakistan’s workforce is based.
