By Ather Ahmed | 14 Dec, 2017

While everyone is fixated with Bitcoin right now, our very own Pakistani Rupee seems to be going in the opposite direction.

The Pakistani Rupee fell to a record low as the Central Bank continues to loosen its controls over the currency. According to Bloomberg, the Rupee has been the worst performing currency across the world since last Friday and suffered losses for the past three days.

The Rupee hit a four year low as the State Bank devalued it in a bid to boost economic growth. Keeping the nitty gritty of our economy aside, the people were obviously had a lot to say.

 

Naturally, several Pakistanis were worried about the state of our economy in view of the Pakistani Rupee becoming the lowest ranked currency

 

Currently, the government is in talks with the IMF and the Central Bank has decided to devalue the currency even further

The main idea here, being to boost exports in a bid to lower the trade deficit in the economy. Many being of the opinion that devaluation at this point is a necessity.

 

A lot of people took this news as an opportunity to take shots at the Government

 

Renowned political personality, Asad Umar also joined in to criticize the government
