$200 million used to buy PKR from open market, so it can gain PKR2 or 3, otherwise it would have tanked to 315.

Continuously declining foreign exchange reserve badly impact on our currency values. This will hit the inflation further high. The net result will be more bearish market trend and less tax collection. To avoid this, we need to singularly focus on building foreign exchange reserves.
