July 4, 2019 (MLN): Following the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s approval on a $6 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for Pakistan, the Pakistani currency strengthened by 2 rupees at open in today’s interbank trade.

PKR opened the session at 155.5/156.5 per dollar against yesterday’s closing quote of PKR 157.6 per dollar. Meanwhile, deals have been reported at Rs.156 per dollar at 9:50 am (PST).

The Executive Board’s approval allows for an immediate disbursement of SDR716 million (or about US$1 billion) while the remaining amount will be phased over the duration of the program, subject to four quarterly reviews and four semi-annual reviews.
