Karachi, October 16, 2025 – The latest open market exchange rates show that the Saudi Riyal (SAR) continues to maintain stability against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR).
As of 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal stood at Rs 75.01, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs 75.65.
These updated figures reflect the ongoing fluctuation of foreign exchange markets, which are influenced by international trade flows, remittances, and overall economic sentiment. The Riyal rate, like other global currencies, can change throughout the day depending on supply and demand in the open market.
The buying rate represents the amount at which exchange companies and banks purchase the Saudi Riyal from customers, whereas the selling rate indicates the price at which they sell the Riyal back to customers. This difference between the two rates covers service margins and transaction costs.
The Riyal-to-Rupee parity largely depends on global oil prices, Saudi Arabia’s economic outlook, and Pakistan’s balance of payments. A strong inflow of remittances from overseas Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia often supports the Rupee and helps maintain exchange rate stability.
For those engaged in currency exchange or international travel, it is recommended to check the latest Riyal rates regularly, as they are subject to quick variations throughout the trading day due to dynamic market conditions.
