On September 5, the Pakistani rupee plummeted to Rs307.10 against the US dollar in the interbank market, a historic low.
Since then, the local currency has been on the road to recovery after the military-backed crackdown launched a crackdown on currency smugglers, hoarders, and speculators.
In the days to come, the rupee would strengthen to 280 to the dollar, analysts claim.
