SAR to PKR Exchange Rate — Pakistan's Biggest Remittance Corridor
Saudi Arabia is Pakistan's single largest source of remittances. Pakistan received over $8 billion from Saudi Arabia alone in FY 2024-25, making the SAR/PKR rate one of the most-watched currency pairs for millions of Pakistani families. Over 2 million Pakistani workers live and work in Saudi Arabia across construction, healthcare, retail, and domestic sectors.
How SAR/PKR Rate is Determined
The Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 3.75 SAR = 1 USD. This peg has been in place since 1986 and is backed by Saudi Arabia's massive foreign exchange reserves (approximately $450 billion). Because of this fixed peg, the SAR/PKR rate moves exactly in proportion to the USD/PKR rate:
SAR/PKR = USD/PKR ÷ 3.75
When Pakistan's rupee weakens against the dollar, workers in Saudi Arabia get more rupees per riyal — their families benefit from the depreciation.
