Karachi, November 6, 2025 – The exchange rate of the Saudi Riyal (SAR) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) saw minor fluctuations in the open market on Thursday.
As of 9:10 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), the buying rate for one Saudi Riyal stood at Rs74.95, while the selling rate was recorded at Rs75.57.
These rates are updated regularly and may vary throughout the day depending on market trends, foreign exchange demand, and global currency movements. Exchange companies and banks across Pakistan closely monitor these shifts to adjust their pricing in real time.
In the context of forex trading, the buying rate represents the price at which currency dealers or banks purchase Saudi Riyals from customers, whereas the selling rate reflects the rate at which they sell Riyals to buyers. This difference between the two rates—commonly known as the spread—is influenced by supply, demand, and liquidity in the market.
The Saudi Riyal-Pakistani Rupee parity is determined by open market dynamics rather than fixed by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). It fluctuates according to international oil prices, remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia, and economic indicators such as inflation and trade balance.
As Pakistan continues to receive a large volume of remittances from expatriates working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Riyal remains one of the most traded foreign currencies in the local exchange market.
