The artificial rise of USD to PKR Conversion rate a few years back was a disaster for Pakistan. At that time PKR to Indian rupee Conversion rate was almost 2 pkr per INR it needs to come to that level atelast as Indian rupee itself is davaluing
Who said that was artificial
So it took 6 months for pkr to go from 280 to 277. But it took same pkr to go from 220 to 280.
