The falling reserves put pressure on the domestic currency as it plunged to an all-time low of Rs191.77 in the interbank market.The value of the greenback surged byRs1.75 on Thursday trading and closed at Rs191.77 in the interbank market, hitting an all-time high.

According to experts, the surging dollar has shattered the confidence of rupee-based economy and its stakeholders. It is worth mentioning here that the coalition government, led by PM Shehbaz Sharif, is facing several economic challenges since coming into power in April 2022 after Imran Khan was dethroned as Pakistan PM through a no-confidence motion.

The new coalition setup, since then, had approached International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Saudi government for bailout packages. The federal government recently also held talks with UAE economic team in Lahore for “financial support”.
