Islamabad: The Pakistani rupee continued its unstoppable fall on Tuesday and slid for the 13th consecutive session against the US dollar in the interbank during intraday trading.
During the intra-day trading, the local currency was hovering around the all-time low of Rs239.94 that it recorded against the greenback on July 28.
The fall of the PKR has continued despite receiving a $1.16 billion loan tranche from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last month. The rupee has continued to spiral down the hole and has yet to see a positive session this month.
