Experts said during the business in last four trading days the US dollar has lost its value by Rs7.18 which is a very healthy sign.

According to economic experts, the Pakistani rupee has started showing signs of recovery after the political uncertainty has come to an end and a new government has been installed with Shehbaz Sharif as the prime minister. 

The IMF has already announced that it would start its next review for the USD 6 billion bailout programme once a new government would take place. 

The IMF has stalled its review talk with the previous PTI government as the global lender expressed its concern over the relief package announced by former prime minister Imran Khan. 

Apart from this, the State Bank also hiked the policy rate by 250 bps to 12.25% in an emergency meeting on April 7 after rupee plunged to an all-time low to help safeguard it from further dip.
