The current week has brought a consistent improvement for the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) against the US Dollar (USD).

After touching its highest value on 17 November 2020 at Rs. 158.31 to the USD, the PKR is at its three-month highest once again, with an exchange rate of Rs. 158.46 to the greenback. Part of this consistent improvement can also be explained through the inflow of foreign exchange through the Roshan Digital Accounts (RDAs).

According to the latest figures released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Pakistan has received $554 million over five months from the RDAs, with 57 percent of the remittances ($316 million) from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Yesterday (24 February), the PKR had closed at Rs. 158.76 to the USD, up 12 paisas from Rs. 158.86 to the USD on Tuesday, which had been up from Rs. 159.06 to the USD on Monday. Today (February 25), PKR has posted an improvement of 29 paisas, closing at Rs. 158.46 to the USD.
