Currency analysts attribute the Riyal’s stability to regular inflows from expatriate workers and consistent religious remittances.

Central bank interventions are expected to help maintain equilibrium should any sharp movements occur.
• The Riyal is projected to remain within the current 75–76 PKR range absent any external shocks.
• Travelers and importers dealing with SAR should monitor both open-market and interbank rates to ensure optimal currency exchange timing.
