Why Did the Rupee Gain?

Today’s slight appreciation is attributed to:

  1. Stable Eurozone Outlook: Recent Eurozone economic data, showing flat inflation, has reduced pressure on the EUR, allowing the PKR to gain marginally.
  2. Remittance Support: A 2% rise in remittances to Pakistan in June 2025, particularly from Europe, has increased PKR liquidity in the interbank market.
  3. SBP Interventions: The State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) strategic dollar and euro sales in the forex market have helped stabilize the PKR.

Unique Insights

  • Underground Euro Trading: Informal currency exchanges in Lahore and Karachi report a 5% uptick in EUR transactions, driven by Pakistani expatriates in Europe hedging against potential PKR weakening.
  • Oil Payment Shift: Pakistan’s partial shift to Chinese Yuan for oil imports has indirectly reduced EUR demand, as some European oil suppliers now accept alternative currencies, saving $30 million monthly.
  • EU-Pakistan Trade Impact: A lesser-known factor is the 3% increase in Pakistan’s textile exports to the EU in Q2 2025, boosting EUR inflows and supporting the PKR.

Outlook

Analysts predict the EUR/PKR rate to remain between Rs. 325–330 through June, with a possible climb to Rs. 336 by July 21 if Middle East tensions escalate, raising oil prices and EUR demand. The SBP’s $9.2 billion reserves and 12% interest rate provide some stability for now.

Action Points

  • Exchange Euros Now: If holding EUR, convert before potential rate spikes in July.
  • Stay Informed: Monitor SBP or reliable forex platforms for daily updates.
  • Use Regulated Channels: Avoid black-market exchanges to steer clear of inflated rates.
