Скачать или смотреть Dollar Shortage In Pakistan Continues As Exchanges Run Dry | Dawn News English

There is a severe shortage of US dollars in Pakistan’s open market, with many currency exchanges limiting sales or refusing to sell, creating difficulties for travellers and students. Some exchanges are only selling the dollars they have purchased, while others allow customers to buy a maximum of $100 at a time. A few outlets have only old-design dollar notes, which are of limited use for exchanging into foreign currencies abroad.

Travellers have faced high costs due to the shortage. One passenger heading to Malaysia at the end of November could not buy dollars at the airport and had to purchase ringgit at Rs74.5, well above the mid-market rate of roughly Rs68. Students have also been affected, with some unable to obtain dollars despite visiting multiple exchanges to cover education expenses.
