      <title>Pakistan's rupee reaches new low against US dollar
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30269444/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The US dollar rose against the Pakistani rupee, reaching a new historic high at Rs173 in the inter-bank market on Monday.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Pakistani rupee shed an additional 82 paisas reported Aaj TV. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many have expressed serious concerns at the rise especially after Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Friday that he expected the pressure on Pakistan's currency to end soon.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Analysts say Pakistan's current account deficit and IMF's demand for further devaluation of the rupee has led to this situation. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Analysts expected the resumption of the IMF's $6 billion loan programme would stabilize the rupee value but that has not happened because the two sides have yet to reach a middle ground. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Social media users took to Twitter to share their concerns about the rising prices of all goods. This follows the recent outrage over the hike in petrol prices. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One user on Monday poked fun at PTI supporters who go to lengths to justify the government's economic decisions which have proven very unpopular. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Others weighed in on the current impasse with IMF. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And others chose the opportunity to remind people that at least the PM is handsome -- a refrain that often comes up to poke fun at PTI supporters who use this as a last resort. &lt;/p&gt;
