Pakistan-UAE Relations
The UAE is home to a large Pakistani expatriate population, which sends billions of dirhams annually to Pakistan in the form of remittances. These remittances play a vital role in supporting Pakistan’s economy and strengthening its foreign exchange reserves.
The exchange rate between the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) and UAE Dirham (AED) directly affects the amount of money families receive back home. A favorable exchange rate allows expatriates to send more value, benefiting household spending, education, and investments in Pakistan.
Additionally, many Pakistani businesses import goods from the UAE, including electronics, petroleum products, and construction materials. Fluctuations in exchange rates can impact import costs and retail prices in Pakistan. Likewise, tourism and travel between the two countries also depend on stable currency conversion rates.
