As per the details available, the rupee strengthened by 4.09% since January 1, 2021. During this time period, its figure changed from PKR 153.55 to PKR 152.75 against the dollar, as per the closing rates at the domestic interbank market on Wednesday (March 31).

Experts believe that certain initiatives taken by the federal government have a role to play in the said appreciation, including the recent issuance of Eurobonds that helped raise USD 2.5 billion.
