July 17, 2023 (MLN): The Pakistani rupee (PKR) depreciated by 1.67 rupees against the US dollar in Monday's interbank session as the currency settled the trade at PKR 279.26 per USD, compared to the previous session's closing of PKR 277.59 per USD.

In the open market, Exchange Companies quoted the dollar at 280 for buying and 283 for selling.

Last week, PKR appreciated by around 31 paisa or 0.11%, owing to the approval of the 9-month Stand-By-Agreement (SBA) for Pakistan and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) receiving the first installment of $1.2bn.

This inflow came on top of a $1bn deposit from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on July 12 and a $2bn deposit from Saudi Arabia on July 11.

Moreover, Fitch Ratings upgraded Pakistan's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) from 'CCC-' to 'CCC'.
