Pakistan Stock Exchange Tops Global Markets in 2024 Performance

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has earned the title of the world’s best-performing stock market in 2024, thanks to improved macroeconomic conditions.

As reported by Bloomberg, the increase in foreign investment and favourable economic conditions have enhanced investor confidence. The PSX’s KSE-100 Index recently hit a record high, closing at 81,459 points after a 1.1% increase, with a peak of 81,865 points during intraday trading.

The market has seen a 30% growth this year, driven by the highest level of foreign investment in over a decade. Foreign investors purchased $87 million of Pakistani shares in 2024, marking the most substantial foreign investment since 2014.

Bloomberg attributes the PSX’s strong performance to sound economic fundamentals and a rise in foreign participation. Other significant factors contributing to market growth include Pakistan’s improved account balances and the central bank’s decision to lower interest rates. With inflation under control, these rate cuts have further spurred investment.

PSX has been recognised as the world's best performing stock market in 2024, according to a report by Bloomberg.

In July, the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) Russell moved Pakistan from a secondary emerging market to a frontier market, effective September 23. Despite some challenges, this reclassification highlights Pakistan’s increasing attractiveness to global investors, particularly in high-potential sectors like fertilizers and energy.

Vanguard Group Inc., a leading global investment firm, holds $160 million in Pakistani stocks and plans to increase its investment, buoyed by a positive market outlook. Business leader Aqeel Karim Dhedhi remains optimistic about foreign investment prospects, pointing out that Pakistan’s stock market offers value compared to its global counterparts.

Dhedhi also notes that expected US Federal Reserve rate cuts could boost foreign inflows, making Pakistan an appealing choice for investors looking for growth in emerging markets. He cites ongoing structural reforms and an improved business environment as key factors boosting investment appeal.

Despite external debt and fiscal deficits, the outlook for the PSX remains upbeat. Strong performance is likely, supported by rising foreign investment and robust economic fundamentals. The market’s recent surge, with the KSE-100 Index reaching 82,157.31 points, demonstrates solid investor confidence and a favourable economic outlook.
