KARACHI: In the currency market, the rupee ended firmer at 90.61/66 to the dollar, compared with Thursday's close at 90.62/67 amid a lack of import payments.
The rupee has been supported recently by remittances from Pakistanis overseas, which rose by nearly a quarter to $8.59 billion in the first eight months of the 2011/12 fiscal year, compared with $6.96 billion in the 2010/11 period.
In February, remittances totaled $1.16 billion.
In the money market, overnight rates were flat at the top level of 11.90 percent. (Reuters)
