ISLAMABAD: Global financial news outlet Bloomberg has highlighted signs of renewed stability in Pakistan’s economy, noting that years of uncertainty appear to be easing as investor confidence returns.
The report points to increased public trust in the stock market, while major rating agencies, S&P Global Ratings and Fitch, have upgraded Pakistan’s credit outlook, commending the government’s sound financial management and ongoing economic reforms.
Bloomberg also credited Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s efforts in improving Pakistan’s relations with the United States as a factor contributing to rising investor confidence. The extension of his tenure until 2030 is expected to further reinforce stability in the country.
The stock market has shown significant growth this year. In the first quarter alone, 36,000 new trading accounts were opened, and the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) recorded daily trading volumes exceeding $200 million in October. The number of small investors participating in the market has also surged.
The PSX-100 Index has risen by nearly 40 percent this year, reflecting stronger market participation and optimism about Pakistan’s economic outlook.
