The Saudi Riyal gained strength against the Pakistani rupee in the open market on Thursday.
As of October 23, 2025, the buying rate of the Saudi Riyal (SAR) was Rs75.55, while the selling rate stood at Rs76.20.
This rise in the Riyal’s value is significant for Pakistan’s economy, especially for overseas workers in Saudi Arabia who send home the largest portion of remittances.
A stronger Riyal means Pakistani families receiving remittances get more value for their money, improving their purchasing power. These funds play a vital role in supporting Pakistan’s economy and foreign reserves.
At the current rate, 500 Saudi Riyals equal around Rs37,775 in the open market. Currency exchanges can be made through banks and authorized money exchangers across the country.
