Saudi Riyal to PKR Remains Stable on January 16, 2026 Amid Balanced Market Conditions
On January 16, 2026 the Saudi riyal held steady against the Pakistani rupee in the open market, with limited movement throughout the trading session. The SAR/PKR exchange rate reflected balanced demand and supply, supported by consistent remittance flows from Saudi Arabia and controlled foreign exchange pressures. Traders noted calm trading as market participants awaited further economic cues.

Analysts explain that the stability in the Saudi riyal to rupee rate is influenced by the riyal’s peg to the US dollar, combined with reliable inflows from expatriate workers in the Kingdom. These remittance flows help maintain liquidity in the local foreign exchange market, reducing volatility. Additionally, steady demand for the Saudi riyal in business and trade transactions has helped keep the rate range-bound.
