Annual inflation was fueled by a sharper increase in prices of food &amp; non-alcoholic beverages, housing &amp; utilities, clothing &amp; footwear, transport and communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In other news, on January 2nd the SBP issued amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, aimed at simplifying the tax regime for non-resident investors in debt instruments. The amendments are expected to deepen Pakistan\u2019s capital markets, support availability of long-term PKR financing sources and reduce the cost of debt for Pakistan\u2019s government.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The current foreign exchange framework enables non-residents to invest in debt instruments and government securities via the Special Convertible Rupee Account maintained with domestic banks. The capital gains tax will be subject to withholding at the rate of 10% and will constitute final discharge of the tax liability, the SBP said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar Index was 0.01% weaker to 96.79 in late Asian trade on Friday.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s focus will be on the US.

In November, the gauge was reported at 48.1 due to a sharper drop in the sub-indexes of new orders and employment. In case the PMI improved more than expected in December, this would have a strong bullish effect on USD due to positive implications regarding US economy&#8217;s health. The Institute for Supply Management is to publish the official report at 15:00 GMT.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At 19:00 GMT the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will release the minutes from its meeting on policy held on December 10th-11th. The minutes offer detailed insights on the FOMC\u2019s monetary policy stance. High volatility of the currency pairs containing USD is usually present after the publication. The Federal Reserve kept its target range for the federal funds rate intact at 1.50%-1.75% last month and indicated no plans for further cuts in 2020.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USD\/PKR was edging up 0.12% to 154.88 in late Asian session on Friday.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6><em>Currencylive.com is a news site only and not a currency trading platform.<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6><em>Currencylive.com is a site operated by TransferWise Inc.
