Karachi, October 24, 2025 – The Saudi Riyal (SAR) continued to trade steadily against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Friday.
As of 9:10 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal stood at Rs75.06, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs75.66.
These currency exchange rates are subject to constant fluctuations throughout the day, depending on market demand, international trends, and foreign currency reserves. The buying rate refers to the amount that exchange companies or banks pay to purchase foreign currency from customers, while the selling rate is the price at which they sell the currency to buyers.
The SAR to PKR parity is primarily influenced by open market conditions, including the demand for foreign exchange and the availability of foreign reserves in Pakistan. Factors such as remittances from overseas workers, particularly from Saudi Arabia, and global oil market movements also play a significant role in determining the exchange rate.
Given Saudi Arabia’s position as a key economic partner of Pakistan and the home to millions of Pakistani expatriates, the Saudi Riyal remains one of the most actively traded currencies in the country.
Experts advise keeping an eye on daily rate updates before conducting foreign exchange transactions, as the rates can vary across different money exchange markets and financial institutions throughout the day.
