The Saudi Riyal (SAR) continues to trade strong against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) as of mid-October 2025. For many Pakistanis — especially those working in the Gulf — this exchange rate isn’t just a number, it directly affects family incomes, savings, and business costs back home.
Latest SAR to PKR Rate – 17 October 2025
Today’s updated rate in the open market shows:
- 1 Saudi Riyal = Rs. 74.94(approx.)
- 10 Saudi Riyals = Rs. 755
- 100 Saudi Riyals = Rs. 7,550
- 1,000 Saudi Riyals = Rs. 75,500
These are indicative figures, and rates may slightly differ at exchange shops or banks across cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
What’s Driving the Current Rate?
Over the past few weeks, the Riyal has remained fairly stable near Rs. 75 per SAR.
Currency analysts say the rate’s steadiness is due to:
- Consistent remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia
- Slight improvement in Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves
- Stable oil market prices, supporting the region’s trade
This mix of factors has kept the SAR–PKR exchange from major swings, which is good news for both workers abroad and money receivers in Pakistan.
