In the interbank market, the Saudi Riyal closed at 74 with a gain of 2.5 paisa from its value of 73.97 a day ago while the U.A.E Dirham increased in value by 2.65 paisa from 75.62 a day ago to 75.59.

Since a significant portion of the Pakistani diaspora resides in Middle Eastern countries, the exchange rates of PKR against AED and SAR are closely monitored for remittances and business transactions.

The Middle East region has been serving as the primary source of energy imports and foreign remittances.

Pakistani diaspora of around 4.5 million in the Middle East represents the entire spectrum of Pakistani society, ranging from business leaders, entrepreneurs, and white and blue-collar workers, to bankers and chartered accountants.

The Gulf countries including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (24%) and the United Arab Emirates (18%) have contributed over 53% to overall Pakistan’s remittances in August 2024.
