Pakistan’s stock market had an outstanding year in 2024, marking its best performance in 22 years. The KSE-100 Index rose by an impressive 86%, making it one of the top-performing stock markets in the world.
This remarkable growth is due to improving economic conditions. Interest rates are expected to decrease, inflation is easing, and domestic mutual funds have returned to the market. Additionally, foreign investors are showing interest, which could further boost the market in 2025.
The total value of companies listed on the KSE-100 Index has grown by 61%. Among the top-performing sectors were Pharmaceuticals, Jute, and Transport, which showed significant progress throughout the year.
One of the standout companies was Sazgar Engineering Works. Its share price soared by 552%, driven by the success of its 4-wheeler and 3-wheeler vehicles. Strong sales in these divisions were a major factor in this incredible growth.
As the market heads into 2025, experts predict continued momentum. Improved economic stability and growing investor confidence will likely play a key role in maintaining the stock market’s upward trend. Pakistan’s stock market is set to remain an exciting and promising space for investors, both locally and internationally.
