Karachi, October 18, 2025 – The Saudi Riyal (SAR) continued to maintain a stable position against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open currency market. As of 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal stood at Rs 75.07, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 75.64.
These rates reflect the ongoing fluctuations in the foreign exchange market, driven by international trade activity, remittance inflows, and overall demand for foreign currencies in Pakistan. Currency dealers update these values several times a day depending on changes in global market trends and the strength of the Pakistani Rupee against major currencies, including the US Dollar and the UAE Dirham.
The buying rate represents the price at which exchange companies and banks purchase Saudi Riyals from customers, while the selling rate is the price at which they sell Riyals back to the public. These variations allow financial institutions to manage liquidity and hedge against exchange rate volatility.
The Saudi Riyal holds particular importance in Pakistan due to the large number of Pakistani expatriates working in Saudi Arabia who send remittances home. Any shift in the SAR to PKR rate directly affects remittance values and import costs linked to Saudi trade.
Traders and overseas Pakistanis are advised to check the latest Saudi Riyal to Pakistani Rupee exchange rates regularly, as they are subject to frequent adjustments based on open market conditions.
