Just looked at Pakistan's currency history and wow, the rupee story is pretty rough. Back in 1947 when the country was founded, 1 USD was only 3.31 PKR. The dollar to pkr in 1947 was basically stable for decades - didn't budge until the mid-50s.
But then things started moving. By the late 70s it hit 9.99 PKR per dollar and stayed there for a while. You could see the pressure building through the 80s and 90s though. The 2000s brought faster depreciation - went from 51 PKR to over 80 by 2008-2009. That's when things really accelerated.
Last few years have been brutal for the rupee though. 2022 saw it hit 240 PKR per dollar, then 286 in 2023. Even now in 2024 it's hovering around 277. That's an 80x depreciation from the original dollar to pkr rate we started with. Crazy to think about what that means for anyone holding cash or trying to save. The inflation pressure just keeps mounting.
