KARACHI: The rupee remained range-bound during the previous week, staying in the 177 level with a cumulative fall of 0.22%. The rupee is having to endure the pressure of the Russia-Ukraine conflict that has already pushed oil prices to multi-year highs.

Additionally, prices of commodities have also increased, raising concerns of Pakistan’s import bill. However, during the week, data revealed Pakistan’s imports declined by 2.2 percent on a month-on-month basis and remained $5.903 billion in February 2022 compared to $6.041 billion in January 2022. Pressure on the currency is likely to persist as the market keenly follows developments on the Russia-Ukraine front along with the Iranian nuclear talks.
