Experts have also said that this sharp depreciation of rupee has occurred due to the shortage of dollars at banks. And the continued drying out of the foreign exchange reserves.

According to the markets experts if the government of Pakistan does not pay immediate attention to the continuous declining value of rupee with respect to restraining import bills with the help of reducing the unnecessary expenditures and have warned that if a deal does not take place with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country’s foreign reserves would keep on shrinking like this.
