KARACHI: The US dollar has risen to an all-time high in Pakistan’s open market, trading above Rs180 on Monday.
The dollar is currently trading at Rs180.50 in the open market but has weakened slightly in the interbank market, where it is currently trading at Rs178.5.
The Pakistan rupee continues to bleed against the US dollar and the greenback is flying high despite the measures of the incumbent government to control the further devaluation of PKR.
