After a severe turmoil in the currency of the country, Pakistan is witnessing a bounce back in Rupee against the dollar. The recent recovery is a seventh month high of almost Re 1 against the US dollar in a single day on Wednesday.
Through this gain, the high has come after a year and now the value is Rs 155.74 to the US dollar in the interbank market. On Tuesday, the currency closed at Rs 156.71 against the dollar, a report from the State Bank of Pakistan declared.

The gain on Wednesday meant that the rupee has recovered almost 7.53% or Rs 12.69 since the last seven months.
In August, the rupee hit all time low with Rs 168.43 against the dollar. The report in the express Tribune also said that the rupee will not be maintained at a low level which was around Rs 155 for a long period. This was because a strong rupee would strongly discourage exporters from future endeavours.

Along with that, they also asserted that strong remittances will also be sent home by those living outside Pakistan who have helped reserves stay stable for a quite long time. A Pakistan-Kuwait Investment company head of research Samiullah Tariq also said, ‘Overall, the flow of foreign currencies has improved post Covid-19 pandemic.” Thankfully, for the banks, the reserves have remained stable despite higher import.
