Historical & Forecast Trends

Average rate so far in 2025 has hovered around ₨ 75.04 PKR per 1 SAR.
The lowest rate registered this year was about ₨ 73.94 PKR; the highest approached ₨ 78.19 PKR.
For the past week, rates have been fairly stable, fluctuating between ₨ 75.03 and ₨ 75.09 in the interbank mid-market rate.
Analysts expect that in the coming weeks, the rate will likely stay in the range of ₨ 74.80 – ₨ 75.80 PKR per SAR, barring any major economic shocks.
Factors such as remittances, foreign reserves, inflation, and global oil prices may nudge the rate slightly up or down.

What Causes the SAR to PKR Rate to Fluctuate?

Here are the main drivers of change in the exchange rate:

Oil and Global USD Correlation
Saudi Arabia’s economy is heavily reliant on oil exports. Since the Saudi Riyal is pegged to the U.S. Dollar, fluctuations in oil prices, and USD movements, indirectly affect SAR/PKR.
Pakistan’s Inflation & Economic Health
When inflation in Pakistan is high, or foreign exchange reserves shrink, the Rupee tends to weaken against stronger currencies like SAR. Policy uncertainty or fiscal deficits can amplify this.
Remittances & Demand from Overseas Pakistanis
Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia send money back home in large volumes. Increased remittance flows can increase demand for PKR (or for converting SAR to PKR) and thus affect the open market rate.
Supply & Demand in Open Market vs Interbank Market
Interbank rates are more “official” and less affected by small retail demand. Open markets (currency exchange shops) often charge higher rates. The difference is due to margins, risk, overhead costs, etc.
Seasonal & Event-Driven Demand
Events like Hajj & Umrah (when pilgrims need to convert large amounts), changes in trade flows (imports/exports), or policy announcements (IMF deals, subsidies, import regulations) can cause short-term fluctuations.

Best Ways to Send Money or Convert SAR to PKR

To get the best value when converting or sending funds, here are some practical tips:

Compare Service Providers: Banks, licensed money exchange shops, and online money transfer services often differ in their rates and fees.
Check Interbank vs Open Market Rates: Knowing the interbank or mid-market rate gives you a benchmark; open market rates will be worse due to markups.
Watch for Hidden Fees: Some services charge transfer fees, commission, or unfavorable spreads. Read small print.
Time Your Transaction: If forecasts are stable, you might wait for a slightly better rate. But if economic news suggests a drop in PKR, acting early could help.
Use Reputable & Licensed Providers: Especially for large sums, avoid informal or unlicensed exchangers to minimize risk.
