Karachi – The US Dollar is currently trading at Rs. 278.70 (buying) and Rs. 279.20 (selling) in the interbank market, while in the open market it is being exchanged at Rs. 279.00 (buying) and Rs. 279.80 (selling). The dollar is showing a relatively stable trend, but it is still maintaining pressure on Pakistan’s import-driven economy.
The ongoing movement in the dollar rate is directly affecting the cost of fuel, machinery, and essential imports, as businesses are adjusting their pricing structures accordingly.
The rising reliance on the dollar in global trade is continuing to influence Pakistan’s balance of payments, while exporters are gaining slight support due to a comparatively stronger dollar.
At the same time, inflationary pressure is building as import costs are increasing, impacting consumers across the country.
