On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) appreciated by 3 paise against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market. The Riyal’s buying rate was recorded at Rs74.22, while the selling rate stood at Rs74.62.

The economic relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia continues to thrive, supported by longstanding alliances and substantial financial aid extended by the kingdom.

Each year, millions of Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia contribute significantly to Pakistan’s economy by sending remittances back home. These funds are vital in covering household expenses, supporting education, and stimulating local markets, underscoring the deep financial ties between the two nations.

Saudi Arabia also remains a major destination for Pakistani laborers seeking employment opportunities. Upon their return, workers often convert their earnings from Riyals to Rupees, ensuring a consistent flow of currency exchange activities between the two countries.

The enduring financial and economic cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia highlights their mutual interdependence and strengthens the bonds that link the two nations.
