Persistent economic measures and international support have contributed to the stability of the rupee in recent months.

These figures show varied movements, with the rupee holding steady against most pairs. Traders noted that the slight gain against the dollar aligns with broader trends, where the rupee has hovered around the 281-283 range in early September 2025. Forecasts suggest continued stability, potentially influenced by monetary policies and external aid.
Recent Trends and Outlook
Over the past week, the rupee has shown minimal volatility, with rates fluctuating between 281.72 and 281.74 PKR per USD. This comes after a period of gradual improvement, supported by disbursements from international bodies like the IMF, which approved funds earlier in the year to bolster reserves.
Market analysts point to tight controls and reform steps as key to this performance. Looking ahead, projections for the month indicate the rate may remain in the 279-287 range, depending on economic indicators.
The State Bank continues to monitor the situation closely, with daily updates available on their website.
