The Pakistani rupee continued to weaken, shedding an additional 82 paisas against the US dollar, which was being traded at Rs 173 in the during intra-day trading in the inter-bank market, Geo News reported.

Prime Minister Imran Khan was quoted as saying by Geo News while speaking at an event last week that the pressure on the Pakistani rupee is temporary and will be over soon.
