On July 22, 2025, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) exhibited steady performance against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR), with interbank and open‑market trading reflecting balanced demand amid sustained remittance flows and economic consistency.

| Open Market | 76.75 | 77.40 |
Throughout the past week, the SAR/PKR pair remained confined within a narrow band, with interbank swings between 75.70 and 76.08 PKR. This tight range underscores a period of modest volatility and relative calm.

Analysts explain that the Riyal’s resilience stems from its peg to the US dollar and Saudi Arabia’s strong economic fundamentals, particularly in the oil sector. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s rupee continues to face moderate pressure due to persistent external financing needs and domestic inflationary dynamics. These factors support demand for Gulf currencies, particularly the Riyal, in both interbank and open‑market channels.
Looking ahead, currency experts suggest the SAR/PKR rate is likely to hold steady around current levels. Continued remittances from Saudi Arabia and stable oil prices are expected to sustain consistency. However, any notable shifts in global energy markets or policy measures from the State Bank of Pakistan could trigger minor adjustments. In the short term, the Riyal is projected to remain in the mid‑75 to upper‑76 PKR range, offering a stable environment for Pakistani expatriates and businesses transacting with Saudi Arabia.
