Over the last week, the local currency saw a gain of 46 paisas against the US Dollar in the interbank market.

The Rupee gained strength against the mighty American currency for the eighth consecutive week, reportedly on the back of a staff-level agreement (SLA) reached between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the first review of the $3 billion Stand-by Arrangement (SBA).
