Abstract
Which macroeconomic factors determine the nominal exchange rate of Pak-rupee against US dollar during the period 1982-2008?

The results show that both monetary and real factors i.e. money supply, trade balance, foreign exchange reserves, inflation and interest rate have long run relationship with the exchange rate of Pak-rupee. However, the granger causality test results show that the relationship between most of the macroeconomic variables and nominal exchange rate bi-directional.
