Historical chart of Pakistan rupee exchange rate vs US dollar

Following is the chart of rupee exchange rates against US dollar. It is interesting to see that between 2001 and 2007, the exchange rate remained almost the same but with the start of rise in oil prices and lawyers movement in Pakistan, the rupee totally collapsed.

In my personnel opinion, the major contributory factor in damaging the Pakistan economy is the lawyer’s movement otherwise, we would have managed to cope with the high oil prices and world economic crisis.

In coming days and months, a lot of money inflow is expected but I am afraid, the financial mismanagement will eat up all those resources as well.

  1. You argument is weak. Musharraf artificially inflated the PRK value and held it for years. After his departure the market correction took place. You will see this will happen again once current Nawaz Sharif government is ousted.

  2. Allah kary wo munafiq musharraf aagha khani kuttay ki mot nanga mary. Kutty or khinzeer us ko nanga noch noch kr khay’n.
    Aammeen.
    Musharraf ka anjam boht bura hoga. Us ki aakhirat tabah o barbad ho. Aap musharraf ki himayat na kijye warna aap k emaan ko b shak ha.
