KARACHI: Pakistani rupee’s losing streak against the US dollar did not stop and has pushed the latter to Rs229.9 in interbank market. According to the Forex Association of Pakistan, dollar gained Rs1.72 during the early trade hours.
Experts are attributing many reasons at play to the rupee’s poor performance. Some are linking it to the anticipated increased import bill following the devastating floods in the country.
