  • Dollar rises to Rs169.6, breaking the previous record

    The United States (US) Dollar continued its surge against the Pakistani rupee as it created a new high, rising to Rs169.6 in the interbank market.

    “Due to the recent sustained rise in the dollar’s value, importers have started booking the currency in advance, which has increased its demand in the interbank market,” Chairman of the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan Malik Bostan told Dawn.

    Bostan warned that the dollar could become even more expensive if the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) does not intervene.

    On the other hand, (SBP) pumped $1.2 billion into the inter-bank market in three months to protect the weakening rupee but could not stop the local currency from falling to a historic low.

    From mid-June to the first week of September, the central bank injected $1.2 billion out of its reserves, government sources told The Express Tribune. The maximum single-day injection of $100 million was made in July, followed by $85 million in August, they added.

    Back in November 2019, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Minister for Labour & Culture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Shaukat Yousafzai, was all praises for the rise in the value of the dollar.

    “The increase in dollar benefits Pakistan greatly as we only have to pay in rupees, not in dollars,” said Yousafzai.

    Senior journalist Mansoor Ali Khan shared Yousafzai’s old clip again today as the USD rose to a record high.

    Yousafzai can be heard saying, “The increase in dollar value has increased the cost of BRT by Rs3 billion and at the same time helped us save over Rs3 billion because we only have to pay that amount in rupees, not in dollars.”

    Yousafzai also said that all those saying that the rupee devaluation is going to increase the amout have no idea what they are talking about.

  • Govt gives three housing units each to 19 bureaucrats

    Govt gives three housing units each to 19 bureaucrats

    A total of 19 bureaucrats of grade BS-22 secured three housing units each, including Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Establishment Shehzad Arbab.

    According to the papers obtained by Dawn, the officers had already been allotted a double-story “grey structures” house each in the Pakistan Housing Authority Foundation (PHAF) scheme.

    The PHAF traditionally built low-cost housing schemes for its members and this was the first time that it introduced a scheme for senior bureaucrats.

    Previously, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had cancelled the allotment of “choice” apartments to influential bureaucrats in the same locality [PHAF] and ordered an investigation into the manipulated balloting carried out by the housing scheme.

    Not only this, the official documents say that 185 of the 588 bureaucrats right after this allotment were allotted plots in the capital’s new sectors of F-14 and F-15.

    Following this, the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) recently allotted two plots each to senior bureaucrats, judges of superior courts, lawyers, and judicial officers of Islamabad’s subordinate judiciary.

    Earlier, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ruled against the allotment of more than one plot to top bureaucrats at public expense under Article 25 of the Pakistan Constitution and then set aside the policy of allotment of the second plot and referred the matter to the federal cabinet.

    While talking to Dawn, Federal Minister for Law and Justice Barrister Farogh Naseem said the allotments would be examined in light of the IHC judgment. Federal information minister Fawad Chaudhry said, “The government is working on the issue in the light of the IHC directive and has formed a committee as well.”

    Initially, civil servants were entitled to one plot each only. However, in 2006, the then prime minister allowed two plots each for BS-22 officials.

    However, an insider said the policy to make such allotments had never been approved by the federal government.
