Saudi Riyal to PKR Exchange Rate – 9 September 2025
| Currency | Buying (PKR) | Selling (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Saudi Riyal (SAR) | Rs. 75.05 | Rs. 75.25 |
Why the SAR to PKR Rate Matters
The Saudi Riyal holds special importance for Pakistan’s economy because:
-
Largest Expat Community: Millions of Pakistanis are working in Saudi Arabia, making it the top source of remittances.
-
Remittances: Families in Pakistan rely on monthly transfers from Saudi Arabia to cover daily expenses, healthcare, and education.
-
Foreign Reserves: Remittances in Riyals play a major role in strengthening Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves.
-
Imports & Hajj/Umrah: The SAR to PKR rate directly impacts the cost of imports from Saudi Arabia and expenses of Pakistani pilgrims traveling for religious purposes.
Current Market Outlook
-
A stronger Riyal means families in Pakistan receive more Rupees against each Riyal, boosting their purchasing power.
-
A stable or weaker Riyal reduces the inflow value of remittances, making it tougher for households to manage rising inflation.
-
Market experts note that the recent dip is small and the exchange rate is expected to remain in a narrow range unless there is a major change in international oil prices or local forex reserves.
Final Word
As of 9 September 2025, the Saudi Riyal to Pakistani Rupee rate remains slightly weaker but largely stable, with buying at Rs. 75.05 and selling at Rs. 75.25. For overseas workers and their families, even small changes in the SAR to PKR rate can make a big difference in household budgets.
Citizens are advised to stay updated with daily currency exchange rates, especially those receiving remittances or planning travel to Saudi Arabia for Hajj and Umrah.
