Why SAR to PKR Rate Matters for Pakistan

-
Large Pakistani Workforce in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia hosts the largest number of Pakistani expatriates, who send billions of dollars home every year. -
Remittance Inflows
Remittances are a backbone of Pakistan’s economy. In August 2025, Pakistan recorded an inflow of $3.1 billion, marking a 6.6% year-on-year increase. -
Contribution from Saudi Arabia
Out of the total remittances, $736.7 million came from Saudi Arabia alone, followed by the UAE ($642.9m), UK ($463.4m), and USA ($267.3m). -
Daily Household Impact
Families of overseas workers depend on these remittances for education, healthcare, and daily expenses. Even a small change in the SAR to PKR rate affects household incomes across Pakistan.
Factors Behind SAR to PKR Fluctuations
The Saudi Riyal to Pakistani Rupee rate changes daily due to:
-
Demand & Supply: Higher demand for Riyals before Hajj and Umrah seasons usually pushes rates up.
-
Economic Stability: Inflation and rupee depreciation play a direct role.
-
Global Trade: Shifts in oil prices and international currency markets impact SAR/PKR.
-
Interbank vs. Open Market: Rates differ slightly between banking channels and currency exchanges.
Expert Outlook
Currency analysts suggest that the SAR to PKR rate will likely remain under pressure in the short term due to rising import bills and rupee weakness against the US dollar. However, continuous inflows of remittances from Saudi Arabia may help stabilize the local currency.
Final Words
As of 23 September 2025, the Saudi Riyal to Pakistani Rupee rate is Rs. 75.15 (buying) and Rs. 76.15 (selling) in Pakistan’s open market.
