Pak Rupee recovers slightly against dollar as central bank controls certain outflows
However the local currency has maintained the downtrend for the last seven months


Karachi: Pak Rupee recovered slightly against the US dollar on the last day of the trading week after the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) tightened up regulations on foreign currency transactions in an attempt to prevent the local unit from falling further.
"Local currency closed at Rs176.67 compared to its last close of Rs176.2 against the US currency a day earlier," the central bank said.
The rupee also bounced back in hopes that after approval of the supplementary finance bill will help Pakistan secure a $1 billion loan tranche from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which will improve the demand and supply parity.
