The value of the Pakistani rupee continues to improve, gaining another Rs3.11 against the US dollar on Tuesday.
According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the rupee appreciated by 1.33% on Tuesday, gaining Rs3.11 to increase in value from Rs237.02 to Rs233.91 against the US dollar.

The rupee has appreciated by more than Rs5.74 in just two days over the news of Ishaq Dar’s return.
In the first 21 days of September, the rupee had lost around Rs21.11 as an Rs1.1 billion tranche from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and an Rs3 billion rollover by Saudi Arabia could not withstand forces of political instability and extensive macroeconomic tumult due to the floods.
