Karachi, October 27, 2025 – The exchange rate between the Saudi Riyal (SAR) and the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) continues to remain stable in the open market. As of Monday, October 27, 2025, the buying rate of one Saudi Riyal was recorded at Rs 75.11, while the selling rate stood at Rs 75.66.
These currency exchange rates were last updated at 9:05 AM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and are subject to change based on market trends, demand, and economic factors influencing the forex market.
In the foreign exchange market, the buying rate represents the amount that banks or exchange companies pay customers when purchasing Saudi Riyals, while the selling rate reflects the amount at which they sell the currency to the public. The small difference between these two rates is known as the spread, which represents transaction costs and profit margins for exchange companies.
The value of the Saudi Riyal against the Pakistani Rupee is determined by open market forces such as global oil prices, remittance inflows from overseas workers, and the overall demand for foreign currencies in Pakistan.
The Saudi Riyal remains one of the most traded currencies in Pakistan, primarily due to the large Pakistani workforce residing in Saudi Arabia who send remittances back home. Therefore, any fluctuation in the Riyal–Rupee exchange rate can directly affect remittance values and import-related transactions.
