UAE dirham exchange rates remain favorable for remittances, as Indian rupee, Pakistani rupee, and Philippine peso all trade near multi-week lows on October 27, 2025, boosting expat sending power. The weakening Asian currencies offer UAE expats a timely opportunity to lock in stronger conversion rates for family support and investments at home.
| Currency | 1 AED = | Change vs. Oct 26 |
|---|---|---|
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 23.98 | ↑ (from 23.93) |
| Pakistani Rupee (PKR) | 77.1 | Unchanged |
| Philippine Peso (PHP) | 16.00 | ↑ (from 15.91) |
The Indian rupee slipped to 23.98 per dirham, near its lowest since early October.
The Pakistani rupee holds steady at 77.1 per dirham, maintaining its relatively weak trend.
The Philippine peso softened to 16.00 per dirham, slightly weaker than the previous day’s 15.91.
With rates at these levels, many UAE workers are choosing to remit now to maximize value, while some still hope for further currency depreciations. However, timing the exact bottom in forex markets is challenging. Historically, such favorable trends tend to see increased remittance volumes as household purchasing power rises.
