Currency analysts indicate that strong remittance inflows and consistent liquidity support from the State Bank of Pakistan are the primary reasons behind the rupee’s resilience. They believe that the stability in the exchange rate reflects a well-managed monetary policy environment and sufficient foreign exchange reserves. However, any upward movement in global oil prices or sudden shifts in international demand for the US dollar could test this stability.
