Saudi Riyal (﷼) to US Dollar ($) Conversion

Saudi Riyal

The Saudi Riyal (SAR) is the official currency of Saudi Arabia, managed by the Saudi Central Bank (formerly SAMA). The riyal has been pegged to the US Dollar at approximately 3.75 SAR/USD since 1986 — one of the world's most enduring currency pegs — made sustainable by Saudi Arabia's enormous oil revenues. As the world's largest oil exporter and a founding member of OPEC, Saudi Arabia's economic fortunes and the riyal's stability are closely tied to global oil market conditions.

US Dollar

The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, involved in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Established by the Coinage Act of 1792, the dollar transitioned to a pure fiat currency in 1971 when President Nixon ended its convertibility to gold — the collapse of the Bretton Woods system that had pegged all major currencies to the USD at fixed rates since 1944. Today the dollar serves as the global pricing currency for commodities including oil, gold, and most internationally traded goods.
