The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reached a historic milestone in December 2025 as the KSE-100 index surged by 1,733 points to close at 172,047 points. This marked one of the biggest single-month gains in the market’s history.
Market analysts attributed the rise to multiple positive economic factors. These included a current account surplus, lower interest rates, and the release of the latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) tranche. The developments boosted investor confidence and contributed to strong buying activity at the PSX.
Earlier, the PSX had made history by crossing the 170,000-point mark for the first time. Investor optimism was further supported by circular debt repayments and a $1.25 billion U.S. investment in the Reko Diq mining project. These developments strengthened market sentiment and encouraged both domestic and foreign investors.
During the week, the KSE-100 index gained 2,780 points over five trading sessions, closing at 169,864 points. The index touched a weekly high of 170,697 points and a low of 167,386 points. Analysts noted that this upward trend reflects growing confidence in Pakistan’s financial markets.
Experts said the surge at the PSX highlights the impact of supportive economic policies. The combination of IMF support, lower interest rates, and increased foreign investment has created a favorable environment for market growth.
The historic closing at 172,047 points cements 2025 as a record-breaking year for the PSX. Observers say sustained investor confidence and continued positive economic indicators could keep the momentum going into the new year.
