Karachi/Riyadh – September 26, 2025: The Saudi Riyal (SAR) continued to trade steadily against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) this week, offering relief to millions who depend on remittances and cross-border trade. As of today, one Saudi Riyal equals 75.03 Pakistani Rupees in the interbank market, showing resilience despite global economic challenges.
The steady SAR to PKR rate holds great importance for Pakistan’s economy since remittances from Saudi Arabia make up a major share of foreign exchange inflows. A predictable exchange rate not only helps overseas workers plan their transfers better but also ensures a consistent stream of capital for Pakistan’s financial system.
Throughout the week, currency movement remained minimal. On Monday, September 22, the Riyal opened at 75.05 PKR. It dipped slightly to 75.02 PKR on Tuesday and Wednesday before settling at 75.03 PKR on Thursday, September 25. This narrow fluctuation of just 0.03 PKR reflects a stable and controlled market environment.
Experts credit this stability to balanced supply and demand in the forex market, strong inflows from Saudi Arabia, and measures taken by the State Bank of Pakistan. However, they also note that global oil prices, Pakistan’s political climate, and regulatory policies will continue to shape future SAR to PKR trends.
For Pakistani expatriates, this steady exchange rate is particularly beneficial, as it ensures their earnings in Riyals retain value when sent home. Pilgrims traveling for Haj and Umrah also gain from predictable conversion costs. Analysts suggest that as Pakistan works on fiscal consolidation, the SAR to PKR rate will likely remain managed in the near term, protecting both the economy and millions of overseas workers who rely on this exchange corridor.
