Pakistans stock market has been on a tear in recent years. The countrys main KSE index has gained close to 400% since 2009, and 40% this year aloneleaving neighboring markets in the dust.

Pakistans equities have had a number of things going their way, like an improving macroeconomic environmentrising economic growth and falling inflation and interest rates. The countrys economy grew close to 6 percent in 2016, up from 4.8 percent in 2015, with inflation running around 4 percent, down from 10 percent four years ago. And the 10 year Treasury bond has yielded 8 percent, down from 12.5 percent four years ago.

Then there are a couple of overseas endorsements for Pakistans market reforms. Like $1 billion in support from the World Bank and a couple of domestic acquisitions from foreign suitors, such as the acquisition of Karachis K-Electric by Shanghai Electric Power Co.

Another overseas endorsement was the inclusion of Pakistans market into MSCIs emerging market index.

Good News for Insafis trying to comment on this thread is that the corruption index is also reported high in this article.

So what could kill Pakistan’s big stock market rally?
The usual suspects that haunt frontier and emerging markets: inflation, corruption, and revolution. Not always in the same order.


At least that’s the experience of South Asia and Latin American countries which have been in a similar position before.


Pakistan’s low inflation, for instance, is hard to maintain at these levels, as a poor infrastructure creates bottlenecks, which could push prices of basic commodities higher. Besides, Pakistan is heavily reliant on imported oil, which has almost doubled since last January.

Then there’s corruption and cronyism, which lead to large government budget and current account deficits, while constraining competition and technological progress. In spite of some progress in the last five years, Pakistan is still high up on Transparency International’s Corruption Index.

And revolution can only be around the corner, as the country suffers from poor enforcement of the law, sharp income inequalities, and territorial disputes with India.
Adding to these concerns over the future of Pakistan’s equities is rising US interest rates, which make investing in emerging and frontier markets less appealing than shopping around inside the US economy.

That’s why investors should be very cautious about pouring more money into Pakistan’s equities at this point.

And the author must have gotten his figures from Ishaq Dar personally....otherwise his figures are way off track. Pakistan's growth rate in 2015 was 4.2%, not 4.8. And Pakistans growth rate for 2016 has been premilinarily calculated at the exact same...4.24%.

I personally dont find the figure of 4.24% to be bad, so Im not sure why Ishaq Dar always insists on lying with falsified figures. Perhaps its a matter of habit.

one need not be a scientist but just very basics of economics is enough to understand current situation. Loans +loan+loans and then to payback instalment, another loan. This land is being thrown into a ditch, while the people responsible are creating and wealth overseas. 100B was the target first highlighted by zardari as the price to rollback nuke capability. We are at 70B+ and rushing to the target. Now with such huge loans governments will remain slaved to the world institutions. To keep puppets going some carrots of kind will be thrown which means nothing but confusion.

On Kansi handover, What congressman said?? Need to recall.. seeing such posts it reminds me even more..

Good news have started trickling in Insha Allah
As a result of vision little above the mere street dancing.

Mazak na karay..

Good news only for currupt elite and rich. There is nothing for common people. Their main problem is low income and record high inflation. Plus no electricity, no jobs, lawlessness, injustic, no education, no adequete health facilities etc and you are happy on the rise of stock exchange.

If KSE index raises to 1 million even what will it bring for common Paki?

And SE index is the criteria of 'development' only in Pak to make people more fool.

It is easy to show temporary short term growth in a country like Pakistan by debt ridden mega projects and fudging of figures. Unless we curb the menace of corruption nothing good will come to the country. Therefore panama is a test case for our judiciary.

دنیا کی تمام ریٹنگ ایجنسیاں پاکستان کو مزید قرضوں کے اندر ڈوبا ملک، مہنگائی اور انفلیشن کی خطرناک حد پر اور آمدنی اور اخراجات میں توازن نہ ہونے والا ملک ثابت کر رہی ہیں اور اس میں اضافہ نواز شریف کے اقتدار میں آنے کے بعد تقریبا پچاس گنا زیادہ ہوا۔
