The announcement regarding cheaper electricity and the elimination of circular debt has brought a wave of optimism among investors, resulting in a significant surge in the stock market.
Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed at its highest level in history, with the benchmark index gaining over 1300 points. The market saw the restoration of two key levels, 118,000 and 119,000 points, which were reached simultaneously.
The 100-index increased by 1354 points, reaching a record level of 119,161 points. This remarkable jump reflects strong investor confidence following the government’s economic measures.
Since the beginning of 2025, the Pakistani stock market has experienced an impressive upward trajectory. Several factors, including positive government announcements, a stabilizing economy, and a relatively stronger currency, have contributed to this robust performance. The market has witnessed significant gains, with the index surpassing the 118,000 mark in February and now reaching an all-time high of 119,161 points.
Investors have been optimistic about the government's focus on reducing the circular debt issue, alongside efforts to improve energy prices, which has further fueled market confidence.
The PSX has gained more than 5,000 points in the first quarter of 2025 alone, marking one of the most positive starts in recent years. Analysts suggest that if these economic policies are consistently implemented, the market may continue its bullish trend for the remainder of the year.
