In Saudi arabia Dollar is Still almost 3.47 Saudi Rayal Since almost 1948 after Israil came in Existence and Saudi Gvt and American Gvt signed the contract the SAR will never sell its Oil other then USD and in response USD will remain 3.47 and no country can buy in other then USD. But Imran Khan Stands against it and almost signed a contract with Russia to buy the oil and Gas from Russia in Pak Rupees and in Response any trade with Pakistan Russia can pay in Russian Currency. That's the Main reason for Regime Change and Corrupt PDM Puppets were indulge again in Pakistan Politics and what happening we are facing the Dollar Price more then Rs.300.
