Saudi Riyal to PKR Today (Open Market)
| Currency | Buying Rate (PKR) | Selling Rate (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 74.85 | 75.50 |
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
A stable SAR rate is particularly relevant for Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia who send money home regularly. When the rate remains unchanged, remittance planning becomes easier, as there is less risk of sudden value loss between sending and receiving funds.
For travelers and businesses dealing with imports or Umrah-related expenses, steady rates also reduce short-term uncertainty.
How Currency Rates Are Set
In Pakistan, open market currency rates fluctuate during official trading hours, typically from morning until late afternoon. The closing rate of the day becomes the reference rate for the next trading session, unless major market activity or international movement causes a shift.
Minor variations may still appear between exchange companies, but the overall market trend remains consistent.
What to Watch Next
While today’s rate showed no change, SAR-to-PKR movement often depends on:
-
Remittance inflows
-
Demand from Umrah and travel seasons
-
Overall PKR performance against major currencies
Keeping track of daily updates helps ensure better timing for currency exchange.
