The Pakistani rupee could slump around 10 per cent to 70 against the UAE dirham if the cap is removed on the US dollar by the South Asian country, say industry executive.

As per the Pakistan central bank tweet, the rupee was trading at over 230 against the US dollar (62.7 versus the UAE dirham) on Wednesday. But it fell to nearly 66 on xe.com on Thursday.

The Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan (ECAP) announced the removal of the cap on the US dollar on January 25. However, the State Bank of Pakistan continues to support the currency which has resulted in a drop in the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
