KSE-100 surges nearly 2,500 points on IMF Board meeting announcement

KARACHI: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed strong buying momentum on Thursday, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index rising by 2,473.55 points, or 1.56%, to close at 160,657.49. The intraday trend showed early gains, mid-session consolidation, and a strong close near the day’s high, reflecting sustained bullish sentiment.

Analysts attributed the sharp rise to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) decision to include Pakistan on the agenda of its Executive Board meeting scheduled for December 8, 2025. According to the IMF’s updated website, the Board will deliberate final approval of the next $1.2 billion tranche, covering the second review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the first review of the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).

The rally follows Wednesday’s modest recovery, when the KSE-100 Index gained 313.44 points, or 0.20%, after a sharp downturn earlier in the week.
