On July 22, 2025, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) showed a mild uptick against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR), reaching around 76.05 PKR in the interbank market—reflecting a small decrease from its high of 76.08 PKR yesterday. In the open market, both buying and selling rates edged higher, signaling stable demand amid regional economic dynamics.
| Market Type | Buying Rate (PKR) | Selling Rate (PKR) |

| Open Market | 76.75 | 77.40 |
Over the past week, SAR–PKR has fluctuated narrowly between a low of 75.70 PKR and a high of 76.08 PKR, showing limited volatility and reinforcing a period of stability.

Analysts point out that Saudi Arabia’s currency peg to the US dollar and its robust oil-driven economy support the Riyal’s steadiness. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s rupee continues to face mild pressure due to persistent inflation and external financing needs. Experts suggest this dynamic may sustain the Riyal-PKR pairing around current levels in the short term.
Looking ahead, analysts expect the Riyal to remain steady—or strengthen marginally—if remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia persist and oil prices stay firm. Any sudden shifts in global energy markets or policy measures from the State Bank of Pakistan could, however, influence this balance.
Overall, for expatriates sending money home and businesses dealing in Gulf currencies, the present levels offer a predictable and favorable environment for transactions based on the SAR–PKR rate.
