KARACHI: The rupee ended stronger on Tuesday, recovering from an all-time low hit in the previous session.

The local currency ended at 177.70 against the dollar. It finished at 177.80 in the previous session.

Pakistan’s forex reserves are set to rise to $25.77 billion, while reserves of the SBP to increase to $19.25 billion after the SFD places deposit with the SBP.
