Currency and the gold price in Saudi Arabia

The Saudi riyal is pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 riyals per dollar, so global ounce moves pass straight through to the gram price in SAR.

Worked example at current prices: the ounce is 4,072.10 USD. Dividing by 31.1035 gives 130.92 USD per gram; multiplying by the exchange rate (3.7500) gives 490.95 SAR per gram of 24K. Since 21K is 87.5% gold, its gram costs 429.58 SAR, and 18K (75%) costs 368.22 SAR.
