The Pakistan

  Step into a money exchange shop  in  Karachi  on a Tuesday morning and the first thing noticed is the restless buzz. Counters stacked with cash, calculators tapping, traders leaning over slips of paper. The  Pakistani Rupee  (PKR) set its tone for the day against the dollar, euro, Indian rupee, and ruble. Every small shift on those digital boards feeds into groceries, tuition bills, petrol pumps, and rent.  Currency rates  aren’t just figures; they decide how much milk costs or if a student abroad can stretch their allowance another week. Current Update on Pakistani Rupee Exchange Rates The PKR opened near 282.63 against the US dollar, a slight shift that still carried weight for importers watching oil shipments. Exchange counters in Lahore said activity was steady, with remittances adding to supply. Against the euro, the rupee stood at about 329.80. Demand came mostly from exporters and families preparing transfers for studies in Europe. Dealer...

  The UAE is buzzing with growth again! Throughout the past year, tourism, hospitality, and aviation licenses have   skyrocketed in Dubai , Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates. The increase in numbers is a good thing. However, behind that, it also means job opportunities for thousands of experts and expatriates, which would also include Pakistanis who call the United Arab Emirates their second home. Tourism Keeps Rising From record numbers of visitors in Dubai to Abu Dhabi’s cultural sites receiving international attention, the tourism industry in the UAE is booming. With the increase in licenses comes more travel companies, more tours, and more business for outgoing agencies to service visitors. For Pakistanis in place, this may be the best time to think about starting a tour agency, opening a restaurant, or getting involved in tourism. With so many dollars arriving, demand for tourism services is only increasing. Hospitality Means More Jobs Hotels are filling up, new reso...

  Currency boards in Karachi flickered at sunrise. Men stood with calculators, murmuring as numbers shifted. The Pakistani Rupee is once again moving against the   US Dollar , Euro, Indian Rupee, Saudi Riyal, and Russian Ruble. These shifts don’t sit on paper alone — they land in markets, petrol stations, and households. Pakistani Rupee vs US Dollar (USD) The PKR to USD rate today sits close to 282. That single number shapes almost everything. Importers groan when machinery costs climb. Petrol dealers calculate faster than ever, knowing pumps will adjust within days. Even grocers in Saddar say customers complain when flour and lentil bags inch up after a dollar rise. Pakistani Rupee vs Euro (EUR) One Euro costs about 332 Rupees. For exporters shipping leather goods to Italy, that rate brings some relief, stretching profits when payments return home. But for a father wiring tuition to Germany, the exchange slip tells a different story. Each Euro feels heavier, and he cuts expen...

  The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments on reclaiming Bagram Air Base, declaring that no deal would ever be made on Afghan soil. Fasihuddin Fitrat, Chief of Staff of the Afghan Armed Forces, addressed the issue on Sunday during a graduation ceremony at the Air Force University in Kabul. “We will never make a deal. Afghanistan is fully independent, governed by its own people, and is not dependent on any foreign power,” Fitrat said. He added that Afghans had fought for decades to secure their sovereignty and would not accept any form of foreign domination. “Those who extend a hand of friendship remain our friends. Those who extend a hand of force or hostility will face our strongest opposition,” he warned. Referring to the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, Fitrat said Afghan resistance had forced international troops to leave after two decades of conflict. “The last 20 years of struggle show that foreign forces were forced t...

Here  AFP  Sport looks at the key aspects of a game that saw India improve their unbeaten World Cup run against Pakistan to 7-0. Prime ministers' call ignored Nobody ever dared to question Imran Khan's decisions when he captained Pakistan during an illustrious career that ended with World Cup triumph in 1992. But many wondered why the Prime Minister's tweets were ignored by the current Pakistan side, led by Sarfaraz Ahmed, after he advised the team to bat first if they won the toss at Old Trafford. Imran sent out a series of messages on Twitter to convey that Pakistan should elect to bat unless there was moisture on the pitch. Sarfaraz can take refuge in the fact that even India captain Virat Kohli admitted he would have bowled first had he won the toss. But India's total of 336 was too much for Pakistan to chase and the big loss that followed left everyone pondering over Imran's advice. Sharma packs a punch India's Rohit Sharma comes with a reputation of gettin...

  New York prepared to mark the devastating  attacks of Sept 11, 2001  on Thursday, 24 years after the deadly plane hijackings that claimed almost 3,000 lives and forever changed the United States. Vice President JD Vance was expected to attend memorial events at Ground Zero in Manhattan, where the World Trade Centre’s twin towers were destroyed in coordinated attacks that also saw a jetliner crash into the nerve centre of American military power, the Pentagon in Washington. Another jet, Flight 93, crashed into the Pennsylvania countryside when passengers overran the hijacker and took control of the aircraft. This year’s gathering takes place against a backdrop of sharp political division both in the city and nationally. New York is in the grip of an unprecedented mayoral election campaign in which socialist Democratic candidate  Zohran Mamdani  is facing off against former governor Andrew Cuomo and sitting mayor Eric Adams. New Yorkers go to the polls on Novemb...
