      <title>US dollar crosses 188 as political crisis continues
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30283250/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Against the backdrop of a political crisis engulfing the country, the US dollar crossed 188 on Thursday leading to concerns that the Pakistani rupee was in free fall. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Social media users turned to Twitter to express their fears about the state of the economy. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;    &lt;span&gt;
        &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
            &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/AliKhizar/status/1511959515054362624"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;/blockquote&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just a day earlier, the dollar hit an all time high at 186.13 and fears were growing that it would continue to climb. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;    &lt;span&gt;
        &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
            &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nailainayat/status/1511690200891723779"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;/blockquote&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sure enough, those fears turned into reality on Thursday where the rupee was trading at Rs188.35 in the interbank market, down Rs2.22 from yesterday's close of Rs186.13.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href="https://www.geo.tv/latest/410065-pak-rupee-in-freefall-us-dollar-climbs-above-188-mark"&gt;Geo&lt;/a&gt;, "The rupee has continued a non-stop downward streak for the 17th successive working day, except on March 24 when it closed flat compared to the previous day’s closing."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since the day of the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan was filed on March 8, the PKR has depreciated by over Rs10.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many also took the opportunity to comment on the legacy of Imran Khan.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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