The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said in a tweet that the rupee opened at 304.94 against the dollar in the interbank market and closed at 302.95, showing an appreciation of Rs1.99 (+0.66 percent). The rupee appreciated against the US dollar in the interbank market by Rs2.52 this week, while it depreciated by Rs16.96 during the current fiscal year 2023-24, and Rs75.52 in the current year. TLTP<br \/>\nMeanwhile in the open market, the rupee was quoted in the range of 301-305 against the dollar in the open market as compared to 304-307 a session earlier. The local unit appreciated against the greenback in the open market by Rs6 on Thursday, Rs13 on Wednesday and Rs8 on Tuesday last. Overall, the rupee has appreciated by Rs29 in the last four sessions.<br \/>\nWith the latest appreciation, the gap between the interbank and open market has narrowed to 0.57 percent. Being under an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, the exchange rate gap between the inter-bank and open markets \u2013 called the premium by the IMF in its country report on Pakistan published after the Stand-By Arrangement\u2019s approval by the Executive Board \u2013 needs to be around 1.25 percent.<br \/>\nCurrency dealers attributed the current row of appreciation of the rupee to the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Asim Munir\u2019s meetup with the business community on Sunday last.
