However, the local currency made small gains in the interbank


Karachi: The Pakistan rupee dropped to historic low in the open currency market on Friday, trading as high as 250 against the dollar.
There were reports of profiteering by currency dealers and people and shortage of currency in turn that led to an increase of greenback price against PKR.
Import payment pressure, deepening political crisis, the delay in the International Monetary Fund's loan disbursement, and the depleting foreign reserves were contributing reasons for the local unit's plunge.
According to data shared by the Forex Association of Pakistan (FAP), the rupee was trading at 250 against the greenback at 1:10pm but then recovered slightly to reach 247 by 4:20pm.
