Karachi, August 7, 2025 – The exchange rate of the Saudi Riyal (SAR) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) remained steady in the open market.
As of 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal stood at Rs 75.65, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 75.95.
These rates reflect the value at which foreign exchange companies and banks are willing to buy or sell the Saudi Riyal. The buying rate is the price a customer receives when selling Riyals to a money exchange or bank, while the selling rate is the price a customer pays to purchase Riyals.
The daily fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Saudi Riyal and the Pakistani Rupee is driven by supply and demand dynamics in the open currency market. Factors such as remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia, seasonal travel demand for Hajj and Umrah, and broader economic indicators also influence the SAR to PKR parity.
It is important to note that exchange rates can vary between institutions and are subject to rapid changes. Therefore, individuals and businesses dealing with Saudi Riyals are advised to confirm the latest rates before making any large transactions.
The Saudi Riyal remains one of the most traded foreign currencies in Pakistan, largely due to the strong economic ties between the two countries.
