The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $410 million financing package for the Reko Diq copper project in Pakistan. This funding aims to support the development of the mining project, which is a key initiative for the country's economic growth. Meanwhile, an audit report has revealed widespread corruption and irregularities within Pakistan's Utility Stores Corporation, exposing financial mismanagement exceeding 376 trillion Pakistani rupees during the last fiscal year. Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) commissioners were found to have unlawfully increased their own salaries and benefits, as highlighted in the 2023-24 audit report by the Ministry of Finance. These developments come amid ongoing fluctuations in currency and commodity rates in Pakistan, including the Pakistani rupee's exchange rates against the US dollar, UK pound, UAE dirham, Saudi riyal, Omani rial, Kuwaiti dinar, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin.
