On Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was pleased with the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) record-breaking performance, calling it a positive beginning to the new fiscal year and an indication of the public’s growing trust in the government’s economic policies.
The benchmark KSE-100 Index surged 2,515 points to achieve an all-time high of 128,142 points on the first trading day of the 2025–26 fiscal year, making history for the PSX.
This one-day surge caused the index to quickly surpass important benchmarks of 126,000, 127,000, and 128,000, which has never happened in the history of the market.
The bull run and the KSE-100 hitting a record high, according to the prime minister’s statement, show that investors have fresh faith in the government’s structural and fiscal changes.
