Karachi, October 22, 2025 – The Saudi Riyal (SAR) maintained stability against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Wednesday. According to the latest foreign exchange data, the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal was recorded at Rs75.06, while the selling rate stood at Rs75.65.
These exchange rates were updated at 9:10 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and may fluctuate throughout the day depending on market trends, demand for foreign currency, and economic conditions.
In the currency market, the buying rate represents the price at which banks or exchange companies purchase foreign currency from customers, whereas the selling rate shows the rate at which they sell it back. This variation ensures a margin for financial institutions to manage liquidity and market risks.
The Saudi Riyal to Pakistani Rupee (SAR/PKR) exchange rate is primarily influenced by supply and demand, remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia, and import/export payments between the two countries. With a significant number of Pakistani expatriates living in Saudi Arabia, remittance flows play a key role in stabilizing the SAR/PKR parity.
Currency analysts suggest that fluctuations in oil prices, regional trade dynamics, and the strength of the US Dollar can also impact the Saudi Riyal’s movement in the Pakistani open market.
Travelers and remittance senders are advised to check real-time Saudi Riyal rate updates before currency exchange transactions.
