About the Saudi Riyal (SAR)
Saudi Arabia has held the riyal's dollar peg for nearly four decades, anchored by oil revenues and large foreign reserves — making USD/SAR one of the most stable rates in the world.
For the Kingdom's large expat workforce and for Amazon.sa sellers (15% Saudi VAT applies on marketplace fees), the peg means currency risk is negligible; what changes costs is fees and VAT, not the exchange rate.
Issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). The riyal has been pegged at 3.75 SAR per US dollar since 1986.

Why does the SAR/USD rate barely change?+
