Why the Rupee Is Gaining

Here are key reasons behind Pakistan’s rupee strength:

1. Improved forex reserves / inflows
   Some stabilization in foreign currency inflows (e.g. remittances, aid) has eased pressure.
2. Moderated demand for imports
   A slowdown in import growth reduces dollar demand, giving the rupee some breathing room.
3. Tighter monetary & fiscal discipline
   The government and central bank are acting more cautiously to avoid sharp currency shocks.
4. Market confidence
   A continuing appreciation trend can feed on itself — traders may bet on more gains, reinforcing the streak.

Risks That Could Undo the Trend

• A sudden drop in foreign inflows (e.g. foreign investment, remittances)
• External shocks (oil price spikes, global dollar strength)
• Escalating political or fiscal instability
• Sudden moves by central bank (interest rate changes)
