The recent setback to sitting government in Punjab in the recent by-elections and the Supreme Court’s decision against the PDM-led government, both have given rise to the political turmoil in the country causing currency depreciation.
Pakistani Currency is in Free Fall State
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistani Forex Reserves are depleting and currency is apparently in free fall state. Political instability is being said to be the major culprit behind this free fall. PKR depreciated by 1.63 percent on Thursday and this free fall is being assumed to continue until the IMF tranche is received and political stability is achieved.
