The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) continues to maintain its strength against the US Dollar in the international currency market, staying below Rs. 160 exchange rate and posting gradual improvements every day.

PKR opened the week with mixed results against most major currencies but maintained the exchange rate against the US Dollar under Rs. 160. Tuesday brought gains for PKR against USD, UAE Dirham, and Saudi Riyal as well. Against most other currencies, however, PKR deteriorated to some degree.
