"The rupee was traded at 90.03 (to the dollar)," said a bank dealer. Rupee was trading at 89.92/98 to the dollar at 2:58 p.m. local time (0958 GMT), compared with Tuesday's close of 89.90/95. Dealers said exporters held on to their dollars, putting further pressure on the rupee. Pakistan's current account deficit stood at $2.104 billion in July-Nov compared with $589 million in the same period a year earlier. The deficit is likely to widen further in coming months because of debt repayments and a lack of external aid. Islamabad has to begin repayments on an $8 billion IMF loan in early 2012, and without additional sources of revenue, its foreign exchange reserves may come under pressure, analysts said. It has to make a repayment of more than $1.1 billion in the second half of 2011/12 fiscal year. Foreign exchange reserves were at $16.69 billion in the week ending December 9, compared with a record $18.31 billion as of July 30.
