PKR continues appreciating against greenback for third consecutive session

Karachi: The local unit continued to register gains against the US dollar for the third consecutive session in the interbank market on Tuesday.

Analysts attributed the rupee’s recovery with the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) statement that Pakistan had completed all prior actions required for the review of the Extended Fund Faclity (EFF).

The greenback started losing ground on Friday after the rupee dipped for 10 straight sessions during the last days of July and depreciated around 5 per cent just last week.
