Saudi Riyal to PKR Holding Firm as Remittances Continue

Karachi: The Saudi Riyal is trading steadily against the Pakistani rupee in the open market today, supported by consistent remittance inflows from Saudi Arabia. The riyal is currently being bought at Rs. 74.90 and sold at Rs. 75.35.
Millions of Pakistani workers employed in Saudi Arabia are continuing to send money back home on a regular basis. These remittances are helping families across Pakistan manage daily expenses, education costs, and healthcare needs, especially amid rising inflation.
The stable exchange rate is providing relief to households that rely heavily on funds from the Kingdom. Workers in construction, services, and industrial sectors are remaining a strong financial link between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Economic analysts are observing that the riyal’s steady position is supporting Pakistan’s overall remittance structure, which remains a key pillar of the national economy.
