The Forex Association of Pakistan reported that In the open market, the buying rate of the dollar was Rs285.2 while the selling rate was Rs 287.

IMF demands to raise Interest rate
The International Monetary Funds has demanded an increase in the interest rate. News reports said that IMF is pushing Pakistan to raise the interest rate by 4 per cent. Earlier, the SBP had increased that interest rate by 2pc.

The staff-level agreement between the IMF and Pakistan took place on February 9 but still, there is no sign of finalising the deal. PDM government is taking desperate measures to secure the loan tranche. However, IMF is not satisfied with the earlier decision by the incumbent government.
