    The local currency witnessed the historic low at PKR 239.94 to the dollar on July 28, 2022.

    Currency experts said that the rupee was recovered because of contraction in current account deficit.

    The current account deficit during the period under review was at $1.92 billion as compared with $2.37 billion in the corresponding months of the last fiscal year.

    The rupee failed to get support from the latest announcement of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) about the funds of Saudi Arabia.

    Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) has confirmed rollover of $3 billion deposit maturing on December 05, 2022 for one year. Deposit is placed with SBP and is part of its forex reserves. This reflects continuing strong and special relationship between KSA and Pakistan, according to the SBP.

    The currency experts said that although the IMF inflows would help the further inflows under bilateral and multilateral sources. However, the devastation of floods has changed the economic environment scenario.

    The torrential rains and flash floods have inflicted a loss of over $10 billion to Pakistan’s economy. The devastation will prompt the country to make imports in the coming days, especially for agriculture products.

    The rupee also fell due to continuous depletion in foreign exchange reserves of the country.
