Karachi, November 8, 2025 – The Saudi Riyal (SAR) continued to trade steadily against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Saturday.
According to the latest foreign exchange data, the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal stood at Rs 74.96, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 75.59 at 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST).
These exchange rates are updated regularly and may fluctuate during the day, depending on market demand, supply, and global currency trends. The variation in rates is common as exchange companies and banks adjust their pricing in response to international market movements and local foreign exchange liquidity.
In Pakistan’s open market, the buying rate refers to the price at which banks or exchange companies purchase foreign currency from customers, whereas the selling rate is the price at which they sell foreign currency back to customers. This spread between buying and selling rates reflects market conditions and the cost of currency conversion.
The Saudi Riyal remains one of the most in-demand foreign currencies in Pakistan, largely due to strong remittance inflows from Pakistani workers based in Saudi Arabia. These remittances significantly contribute to Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves and economic stability.
Exchange rates in the open market can change throughout the day. Therefore, customers and businesses are advised to check the latest rates from reliable sources or authorized exchange companies before making any transactions.
