Rupee hits another record low against US dollar

Rupee hits another record low against the US dollar on Wednesday.

Pakistani Rupee depreciated 0.12% against the US dollar in the inter-bank market on Wednesday.

According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the rupee closed at 179.44 after a day-on-day depreciation of 22 paisas.

This is the lowest the rupee has ever been, after it hit 179.22 on Tuesday, amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

 

A widening current account and high import bills have weakened the Pakistani Rupee in recent months.

Pakistani currency has devalued by over 12.2% during the current fiscal year, and by 15.1% since its most-recent high, achieved on 14 May 2021.
