❓ Frequently Asked Questions about Currency Rates
Why is the Dollar Price Fixed Against the Riyal?
The Saudi Riyal has been pegged to the Dollar since 1986 by a decision from the Central Bank (SAMA). This policy aims to stabilize the economy and facilitate trade, especially since oil — the main source of income — is priced in dollars.
Is the Exchange Rate the Same in All Banks?
No, it varies from bank to bank. Each bank adds a profit margin (spread). It’s best to ask about the selling and buying price before execution. Local banks are usually close to each other, but exchange offices and electronic applications may offer differences.
