Following is the chart of rupee exchange rates against US dollar. It is interesting to see that between 2001 and 2007, the
exchange rate remained almost the same but with the start of rise in oil prices and lawyers movement in Pakistan,
the rupee totally collapsed
In my personnel opinion, the major contributory factor in damaging the Pakistan economy is the lawyers movement
otherwise, we would have managed to cope with the high oil prices and world economic crisis.

In coming days and months, a lot of money inflow is expected but I am afraid, the financial mismanagement will eat up all
those resources as well.
