KARACHI: In the currency market, the rupee ended firmer at 90.78/83 to the dollar, compared with Tuesday's close of 90.87/90 amid alack of import payments.
The rupee has been supported by remittances, which rose 21.45 percent to $9.73 billion in the first nine months of the 2011/12 fiscal year, compared with $8.02 billion in the same period last year.
In March, remittances totaled $1.14 billion. (Reuters)
