Karachi, August 4, 2025 – The exchange rate between the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) and the Saudi Riyal (SAR) remained stable at the start of trading on Monday.
According to exchange companies, the buying rate of the Saudi Riyal stood at PKR 77.44, while the selling rate for the general public was recorded at PKR 76. These rates are unchanged from Saturday’s closing figures, reflecting a calm day in the currency market.
The value of the riyal against the rupee is determined by open market dynamics, primarily driven by supply and demand for foreign currency. No fluctuations were reported in the buying or selling prices, suggesting limited volatility in the SAR-PKR parity at the moment.
The “buying rate” is the rate at which banks or exchange companies purchase Saudi Riyals from customers, while the “selling rate” is the rate at which they sell Riyals in exchange for rupees.
As Hajj-related remittances and travel pick up in the coming months, the demand for the Saudi Riyal may influence its rate against the Pakistani Rupee. For now, both the riyal and rupee appear steady in the open market, with no immediate indicators of a shift in parity.
Market participants continue to monitor economic indicators that could impact the rupee-riyal exchange trend.
