On June 30, 2025, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reached an all-time high. The KSE-100 Index closed at 125,627.31 points, a 1% increase from the previous session. This surge reflects positive investor sentiment following the approval of the Finance Bill, 2025.
The KSE-100 Index gained 1,248.25 points, peaking intraday at 125,748.58 points. This growth is linked to the National Assembly's passage of the Finance Bill, which approved a Rs 17.573 trillion federal budget for the fiscal year 2025-26. The budget includes ambitious economic targets, such as a 4.2% GDP growth rate and a reduced fiscal deficit. 'Rs' is the abbreviation for the Pakistani Rupee.
The market's positive performance is attributed to investor confidence in the government's economic reforms, which are part of a $7 billion IMF-backed program. The PSX's performance highlights growing investor trust in Pakistan's economic stability. (Source: Reuters, AP News, Financial Times)
