Saudi Riyal rate in Pakistan – Oct 30, 2025
According to the latest currency exchange figures, the Saudi Riyal is trading at Rs75.65 (buying) and Rs76.3 (selling) in Pakistan’s open market. The stable rise in Riyal’s value has boosted remittance-based household incomes, particularly ahead of the winter season when expatriate remittances typically increase.
Saudi Arabia remains the largest source of remittances for Pakistan, contributing billions annually. A stronger Riyal means that Pakistani families receiving money from relatives in the Kingdom now enjoy enhanced purchasing power, easing the pressure of inflation at home.
