On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, a slight improvement in the value of the Saudi Riyal was observed in the open market of Pakistan. The purchase price increased to Rs. 73.97, reflecting a modest gain, while the selling rate also rose, now standing at Rs. 74.37.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are developing a strong and sustainable partnership with cooperation in key areas such as trade, energy, defense and culture. This relationship is integral to Pakistan’s economy, as Saudi Arabia is the largest contributor to foreign remittances and an important source of employment opportunities for Pakistani nationals abroad.
For many Pakistanis, Saudi Arabia has long been a preferred destination for better job prospects, particularly in sectors such as construction, healthcare, hospitality and retail. These workers are an important part of Pakistan’s economy, sending substantial remittances back home to support their families and communities.
Remittances from Saudi Arabia play an important role in strengthening Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves and improving the living standards of many families. As the largest source of remittances to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia sends billions of dollars every year, which has a positive impact on poverty alleviation, domestic welfare and national development.
The exchange rate between the Saudi Riyal and the Pakistani Rupee reflects the economic relationship between the two countries, ensuring a fair exchange rate for remittances sent by millions of Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia. A stable exchange rate is essential to protect the hard-earned income of these workers from market fluctuations and fraudulent practices.
Apart from its economic and labor relations, Saudi Arabia plays an important role in shaping Pakistan’s foreign policy. Both countries share common interests in regional security, particularly in the Middle East, Afghanistan and the global war on extremism. Saudi Arabia has supported Pakistan through economic aid, concessional loans and joint defense initiatives.
Cultural and religious links between the two countries also serve to strengthen their relationship. As the home of Islam’s two holiest cities, Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia is a major destination for Pakistani pilgrims to perform Hajj and Umrah, deepening their shared commitment to Islamic values and traditions.
