KARACHI – Pakistan Stock Exchange touched new heights, crossing 78,000 mark during intraday trading on Thursday.

Experts link the buying spree with the government’s move to finalise a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after Budget 2024-25 announcement.
This years’ budget was aimed to meet fiscal targets to bolster the case for a new IMF bailout deal.
Recent statements from rating agencies Fitch and Moody’s also pushed market rally.
