Pakistani rupee strengthens against US dollar in interbank

Author: Web Desk

The Pakistani rupee demonstrated a notable surge against the US dollar in early Monday trading, marking a positive turn in its valuation. The currency gained momentum, reaching 280.50, reflecting a remarkable increase of Rs 0.07 in the inter-bank market.

This uplifting trend follows a recent decline on Friday, where the PKR experienced a dip of Rs 1.77 against the US dollar in the inter-bank market. However, resilient administrative measures and stringent actions taken have led to a swift recovery, enabling the currency to bounce back from its record low. Furthermore, reductions in fuel prices over the last two fortnightly reviews have also contributed to the stabilizing economy.

Attention now turns to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), which is set to announce its new monetary policy today, on Monday. The eagerly awaited decision from the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting scheduled for today will address crucial matters, notably the interest rates. The outcome of this decision holds significant weight, as it is expected to wield a considerable impact on various financial aspects within the nation.

The fluctuations observed in the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar, along with its subsequent upturn, signify the efficacy of measures taken to stabilize the currency. The forthcoming monetary policy announcement is poised to further reinforce these efforts and ensure economic stability within the country.
