After touching the highest value in nearly one year at the interbank currency market yesterday, the Pakistani Rupee posted a marginal loss of 2 paisas against the USD in the interbank market today.

From trading, at the lowest in August 2020, the Rupee posted an improvement of 71 paisas yesterday (March 3), closing at Rs. 157.13 to the USD in the interbank currency market. Today (March 4), PKR went down by 2 paisas and closed at Rs. 157.15 to the greenback.

The previous such high was recorded on March 10, 2020, at Rs. 157.35 to the USD on an intraday basis.

The Rupee has consistently improved against the US Dollar for over two weeks and was periodically appreciating before that. PKR continued to march upwards due to soft importers’ dollar demand and inflows from remittances, Roshan Digital Account, and export proceeds.

Since last month, PKR has improved by Rs. 2.97, or 1.8 percent, to the greenback. Since the highest exchange rate, the PKR posted at Rs. 168.43 to the USD, now the Pakistani Rupee has improved by 6.8 percent.
