Moreover, Exchange companies have reportedly brought in around 150 million dollars of remittances.

He further said that halt in supply from overseas and outflow of foreign portfolios had placed pressure on the local currency.

As a result of this halt and pressure, the Dollar in the open market has reached USD 168 against the PKR.
