The exchange rate between the Saudi Riyal (SAR) and the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) matters a lot for millions of people. Many Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send money back home. Because of this, how much one Riyal is worth in Rupees affects many families across Pakistan.
As of November 2025, the rate stands at about 1 SAR ≈ 75 PKR in many open‑market quotes. For example, one source shows 1 SAR = Rs 75.05 (buying) / Rs 75.50 (selling) in the Pakistani market.
SAR to PKR Conversion Table (Approximate)
| SAR | PKR (Approx.) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 75 PKR |
| 5 | 375 PKR |
| 10 | 750 PKR |
| 20 | 1,500 PKR |
| 50 | 3,750 PKR |
| 100 | 7,500 PKR |
Note: Rates may differ slightly at banks or currency exchange shops.
Why the SAR → PKR Rate Is Important
✔ For Overseas Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia
Workers earning in Riyals will get more Rupees if the SAR value is higher. A strong Riyal means more support for their families back home.
✔ For Families in Pakistan
Many households depend on remittances. Even a small change in the rate can affect monthly income significantly.
✔ For Businesses
Importers buying goods, services, or machinery from Saudi Arabia using Riyals will face higher costs when SAR is expensive.
✔ For the Government
Pakistan imports large quantities of energy and goods from Saudi Arabia. A higher SAR means a larger import bill in Rupee terms.
Key Factors Influencing SAR to PKR Rate
- US Dollar Movement
- Saudi Riyal’s exchange rate is tied to the US Dollar.. When the USD strengthens, SAR usually follows.
- Pakistan’s Economy
- Inflation, weak reserves, and political instability can weaken the Rupee, making SAR more expensive.
- Remittances from Saudi Arabia
- High remittance inflows support the Rupee and help stabilise the rate.
- Oil Prices
- As Saudi Arabia is a major oil exporter, shifts in oil prices can influence the strength of the Riyal.
- Trade Balance
- When Pakistan’s imports exceed exports, demand for foreign currency rises, which affects PKR value against SAR.
Outlook for the Rate
Most analysts expect the SAR to PKR rate to stay relatively stable around the current level (≈ 75 PKR per SAR) over the next few months unless there are major economic shocks.
- If Pakistan improves exports, increases reserves, or boosts remittances → PKR might strengthen
- If Pakistan faces sharp inflation, reserve decline or global currency instability → SAR could become more costly in PKR
