Maryam Nawaz’s tweets came after the US dollar touched an all-time high of Rs147 in the interbank market, a day after bouncing back to Rs144 in the open market. The latest depreciation in the rupee came following Pakistan's agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) securing a $6 billion bailout on Sunday.
