Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current SAR to PKR exchange rate?
The Saudi Riyal to Pakistani Rupee rate typically ranges between ₨73-80 per 1 SAR. Since SAR is pegged to USD at 3.75, the rate primarily follows USD/PKR movements. Around 2.6 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia, making this the largest remittance corridor for Pakistan.
Why is SAR to PKR the most important remittance corridor for Pakistan?
Saudi Arabia hosts the largest Pakistani diaspora globally. Workers send money for family support, property purchases, children's education, weddings, and medical expenses. Annual remittances from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan total approximately $6-7 billion, supporting millions of families.
How does the USD peg affect SAR/PKR?
Since SAR is pegged to USD at 3.75, when Pakistani Rupee weakens against the dollar, you automatically get more PKR per SAR. Monitor Pakistan's IMF agreements, inflation rates, and State Bank of Pakistan policies. Political stability and foreign reserves heavily influence PKR value.
What's the best way to send SAR to Pakistan?
Use Al Rajhi Tahweel or Alinma remittances (lowest fees 0.5-1%), Saudi banks like NCB or Samba (1-2% fees), Wise or Remitly for app-based transfers, and Pakistani banks like HBL, UBL, or MCB have dedicated Saudi Arabia remittance services with competitive rates.
When should I convert SAR to PKR?
Convert when PKR is weak (high SAR/PKR rate) to maximize rupees received. Watch Pakistan's IMF review outcomes, monthly inflation announcements, and political developments. For regular family support, send consistently rather than timing. Eid seasons see peak demand.
