Bloomberg, a leading American news agency, has published its detailed report on investment trends in Pakistan, highlighting a strong performance by the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
According to the report, the PSX recorded an impressive 40% surge, driven by political stability and improved returns that have significantly boosted investor confidence.
The report notes that in 2025, Pakistan’s stock market ranked among the best-performing markets in Asia. A notable revival of retail investors has also been observed, reflecting renewed trust in equity investments.
Bloomberg further states that stagnation in property prices has encouraged people to shift their capital toward the stock market.
Additionally, with bank deposit rates dropping to nearly half, the public’s inclination toward shares has strengthened even more.
Last month, the PSX staged a strong rebound after two consecutive sessions of decline, recovering sharply as the SBP announced that interest rates would remain unchanged.
The decision brought relief to investors, sparking renewed buying across multiple sectors, as the market regained the 150,000-point limit.
After rumours of a possible hike in interest rates triggered a dip in previous sessions, confidence returned to the market following the SBP’s monetary policy announcement.
The benchmark KSE-100 Index surged by more than 1,100 points during intraday trading, eventually closing 945 points higher at 155,384.
