Pakistani rupee devaluation triggers meme fest on Twitter

Anytime the Pakistani Rupee plummets against the US dollar, people — rightfully — go into a frenzy. With an all-time low value of the local currency in the international market, social media users are going bananas, however, to lighten the mood  — although they can’t afford it right now — a major fraction of Twitterati is churning out memes over the situation.

On Friday, the Pakistani rupee’s value further declined in the interbank market, trading at Rs266.6 per dollar. PKR depreciated by Rs24.54 to a record low of Rs255.43 yesterday, the largest single-day depreciation in both absolute and percentage terms since the new exchange rate system was introduced in 1999.

Social media users have shared thousands of memes to give each other a little relief in this worrisome situation.

While many Twitter users were having fun, others were worried about the alarming situation.
