October 21, 2021 12:07 PM


The Pakistani rupee has lost all its gains it scored against the US dollar in the inter-bank trading on Thursday morning and by the closure slumped by another 49 paisas taking the greenback to the historic high of Rs173.96, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Economist Asad Rizvi said, “While, the decision on FATF will take few more days. Reports are that the review of the 6th IMF programme is moving onwards. However, FX & FIXED INCOME market will remain anxious until final outcome. Delay could see #PKR making yet another attempt to test yesterday's historic high of 173.50.”
