SAR to PKR Update: Rates Stable Amid Remittance Flows
SAR to PKR rate is constant nowadays. The 1 SAR is sold in the open market at 76.30 PKR and bought at 75.70 PKR. The interbank rates are a little less at 74.85 PKR to SAR. Local trades in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad have slight disparities based on margins by dealers.
In recent days, there is not much volatility. The open market rate went down to 74.85 PKR on November 17. November 12 saw SAR at 75.60-76.20 PKR. Stability is still supported by high remittance inflows and government. Year-to-year SAR to PKR is averaging about 75.10 PKR and the lowest is found in March 2025 with a value of 73.94 PKR.
Saudi Arabian remittances are important. They give billions yearly to Pakistan, protecting the rupee against even more radical drops. Seasons of Hajj and Umrah might also raise demand of SAR that influences the short term rates.
Economic strains on PKR still exist. Inflation sits around 10-12% for Q4 2025. The currency is on the alert due to trade deficits and IMF programs. Predictors project SAR to PKR to stay in 74.80-75.20 PKR by the beginning of 2026.
To the investors, SAR is like USD. The peg against the US dollar holds SAR steady. USD will be more liquid but SAR will be more appropriate with Pakistanis who get Saudi remittances. Experts recommend diversification: USD 50%, SAR 30% other stable currencies 20%.
Some applications and local banks have competitive rates in the case of real-time transfers. There are smaller swings in the daily routine brought about by dealer margins. The SAR-to-PKR trend can also be tracked in order to organize remittance or travel plans in a better way.
