The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reached a landmark milestone as the benchmark KSE-100 index surpassed the 100,000-point mark for the first time in the country’s history. The milestone was celebrated by traders, analysts, and government officials as a sign of growing investor confidence in Pakistan’s economic trajectory.

The rally has been driven by a combination of factors including falling inflation, a stabilising Pakistani rupee, improving foreign exchange reserves, and the International Monetary Fund’s continued engagement with Pakistan under its Extended Fund Facility programme.

Market analysts noted that foreign institutional investors have been increasing their holdings in Pakistani equities, reflecting a broader positive shift in sentiment toward emerging markets in South Asia. The energy and banking sectors led the gains.

The Finance Minister called the milestone a validation of the government’s economic stabilisation efforts, while cautioning that sustained growth would require continued structural reforms and export diversification.
