The Pakistani rupee ended marginally weaker against the US dollar, depreciating 0.02% in the inter-bank market on Thursday. At close, the currency settled at 277.79, a loss of Re0.07 against the greenback. On Wednesday, the rupee had settled at 277.72, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
