Pakistan rejects call to demonetise Pak 5,000 rupee note
The Pakistan government has rejected a recommendation by the parliament to demonetise Pakistani 5,000 rupee note. The senate had reportedly called for the government to adopt a resolution to "reduce illicit money flow... and reduce the size of the undocumented economy" in the country. This comes after India scrapped high-denomination ₹500 and ₹1,000 currency notes in November.
