Karachi, October 30, 2025 – The Saudi Riyal (SAR) to Pakistani Rupee (PKR) exchange rate continues to draw attention as currency market fluctuations remain influenced by both global and domestic economic factors.
As of 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal in the open market stood at Rs75.05, while the selling rate was Rs75.66. These rates are determined by currency exchange companies operating across Pakistan and may vary slightly from one city to another depending on local demand and liquidity conditions.
The buying rate refers to the price at which banks or exchange firms purchase Saudi Riyals from customers, whereas the selling rate reflects the rate at which they sell Saudi Riyals to customers. These market-based rates often fluctuate during the day due to changing foreign exchange trends, remittance inflows, and international oil price movements, which directly impact demand for the Saudi currency.
The Saudi Riyal to PKR exchange rate is primarily shaped by market dynamics and foreign currency reserves, rather than being fixed by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). The rate is closely monitored by traders, overseas Pakistanis, and importers, particularly those involved in Hajj and Umrah services or businesses tied to the Saudi economy.
Currency analysts note that the stability of the Saudi Riyal plays a crucial role in maintaining confidence in Pakistan’s foreign exchange market, as remittances from Saudi Arabia remain one of the largest contributors to Pakistan’s overall remittance inflows.
