Pakistani Rupee Gains Against Us Dollar For 105 Days

On February 25, 2026, the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) continued its record-breaking streak against the US Dollar (USD), marking the 106th consecutive day of gains. The PKR closed at 279.52, gaining three paisas against the USD, reflecting a broader trend of appreciation against major currencies. According to ProPakistani, this consistent performance is unprecedented, with the rupee gaining against currencies like the UAE Dirham (AED) and Saudi Riyal (SAR) as well. The ongoing strength of the PKR is attributed to rising foreign exchange reserves and robust remittance inflows, particularly from the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which are vital for many Pakistani households. "Every dirham sent home now converts to 76.10 PKR, providing essential support for families managing daily expenses," noted ARY News, highlighting the significance of remittances for the estimated 1.5 million Pakistanis living in the UAE.
