Saudi Riyal to PKR Today on July 19, 2025: Saudi Riyal Inches Up to PKR 76.08, Rupee Shows Mixed Momentum
On July 19, 2025, the Saudi riyal (SAR) remained steady in the interbank market at PKR 76.08, unchanged from the previous session, reflecting stability in institutional trade. Meanwhile, in the open market, the riyal fetched PKR 77.40, marginally higher than interbank levels—a premium that mirrors typical retail demand fluctuations.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Interbank Rate | 1 SAR = PKR 76.08 |
| Open Market Rate | 1 SAR = PKR 77.40 |
| Weekly High (Open Market) | ~PKR 77.40 |
| Weekly Low (Open Market) | ~PKR 75.70 |
| Monthly Average (July) | PKR 75.84 |
Financial analysts observe that the rupee’s performance against the riyal has been shaped by steady remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia and stable monetary policy measures by the State Bank of Pakistan. One market strategist noted that “with remittances holding firm and interbank liquidity intact, SAR‑PKR remains range‑bound.” However, they caution that any dip in remittances—especially during off‑season Hajj/Umrah periods—or a sudden strengthening of the US dollar could pressure the pair.

In the near term, experts expect SAR/PKR to oscillate between PKR 75.5 and 77.5. Should remittance flows persist and inflation stay subdued, the rupee may extend its gains. On the other hand, any external shocks such as oil price spikes or global economic stress could elevate the riyal’s value in local terms.
