At the same time, foreign exchange reserves have slightly improved due to IMF inflows and increased remittances, contributing to a short-term strengthening of the rupee.
“We’ve seen better discipline in the open market. The spread between interbank and cash exchange rates is now under control, and that’s a good sign,” said a senior trader at a Karachi exchange firm.
