According to market experts, the rupee’s value is improving because of regulators’ strict monitoring and action against speculators.
Exporters, who had kept their proceeds abroad, are now bringing back foreign exchange in fear of a further decline in the greenback’s value, which is improving supply.
They say the currency market expects the SBP’s Monetary Policy Committee to either maintain or reduce the interest rate in its meeting on Monday, which would further strengthen the rupee.
