The finance minister was speaking at the 11th South Asia Economic Summit in Islamabad where he said that "all the fundamental economic indicators are improving as a result of effective policies of the present government".
His comments come a few days after the value of Dollar soared to an all-time high. The greenback broke all records as it hit an all-time high of Rs144 during intraday trading on Friday.
It did go down to Rs140 by the evening, but the soar was unbelievably high still. According to Dawn News, the Rs10 rise in the value of the US Dollar is owning to PTI government’s commitments to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
