The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reached a historic milestone on Monday when the benchmark KSE-100 index crossed the 156,000 mark for the very first time. The index closed the day at 156,087 points, showing an impressive gain of 1,810 points.
This achievement is being seen as a major boost for the country’s financial markets. Experts say the surge is driven by several key factors, including expectations of stable monetary policy, ongoing economic reforms, and an optimistic outlook for corporate earnings.
These developments have encouraged both local and foreign investors to place more confidence in Pakistan’s stock market.
According to market analysts, steady growth in key industries and stronger investor participation have played an important role in driving the index to this record high.
They also believe that if the current trend continues, the PSX may see further growth in the coming months, which could attract even more investment into the country.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated the nation on this historic achievement. He described the crossing of the 156,000 mark as proof of Pakistan’s economic resilience and the trust that investors are placing in government policies.
He added that the government remains committed to supporting business activity and creating a stable financial environment that encourages growth.
The record-breaking performance of the PSX has brought a sense of optimism to Pakistan’s economy. For many, it signals not just a moment of success but also a promising outlook for the future of the country’s financial markets.
