Saudi Riyal Holds Near 74.24 Against PKR, Stability Seen With Modest Pressure Ahead on January 13, 2026
On January 13, 2026, the Saudi riyal (SAR) showed relative stability against the Pakistani rupee (PKR), trading close to 74.24 PKR. This modest position reflects balanced demand from remittances by Pakistani expatriates in Saudi Arabia and regular currency market flows. Traders noted limited volatility in the SAR/PKR pair, suggesting calm sentiment amid cautious global economic indicators.
Exchange Rate Table on January 13, 2026
| Currency | Exchange Rate (PKR) |
|---|---|
| SAR to PKR | 74.24 |
Economic analysts say the steady level in the SAR to PKR conversion is supported by consistent remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia, one of Pakistan’s major sources of foreign exchange. This inflow helps soften any sharp swings in the exchange rate and supports the rupee’s relative resilience. However, experts warn that external factors such as shifts in global oil prices, Saudi monetary policy, and broader risk sentiment could exert modest pressure on the SAR/PKR rate in the coming weeks. Investors and importers are advised to watch these developments closely for future currency trends.
