Yesterday, Dr Najeeb had said that the Chinese government had deposited $2.1Bn in State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to help Pakistan in stabilising the economic condition of the country.
The spokesman said that focus was on further strengthening the exchange rate regime and keeping it consistent with the evolving macroeconomic fundamentals of the economy.
He said the news about fixing exchange rate target was baseless and unfounded.
