The Pakistani rupee has also gained some value as opposed to its previous continuous depreciation. On Monday, the rupee was trading at Rs208.40 in the interbank market.
According to financial experts, a number of factors have attributed to the improvement. These include Chinese loan roll-over of $2.3 billion along with the hope of finalization of a deal with the International Monetary Fund.
Economists have also said that up to $3.6 billion deferred payment facility for oil by Saudi Arabia has also played a pivotal role.
