The Pakistani rupee was on track to become the top performer globally in September as the caretaker govt continued its crackdown on illegal dollar trade, Bloomberg reported. The local currency rose around 6% this month against the dollar — an amazing feat despite the Thai baht and South Korean won tumbling against the greenback. The rupee increased 0.1% to 287.95 per dollar on Thursday, after sliding to a record low of about 307 this month.
