LAHORE – Pakistani currency managed to recoup losses against the US dollar in the interbank market, as experts link the local unit’s appreciation to successive review of IMF.

Pakistani rupee plunged against the greenback for import payment pressure, after Islamabad and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reached a staff-level agreement on the first review under the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA).
