KARACHI: The Pak Rupee ended flat against dollar on Wednesday despite higher demand for import and corporate payments, dealers said.
The rupee ended Rs166.22 to the dollar from the previous day’s closing of Rs166.23 in the interbank foreign exchange market.
The currency dealers said that positive sentiments prevailed in the market owing to reports of current account surplus during the first two months of the current fiscal year.
