The KSE 100 Index is a stock market index representing the 100 largest and most liquid companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). It serves as a benchmark for the Pakistani equity market.
Description: The KSE 100 Index was introduced in 1991 by the Karachi Stock Exchange (now part of PSX) to track the performance of the top 100 companies by market capitalization and liquidity. It covers various sectors including banking, energy, textiles, and cement. The index is widely used by domestic and international investors to gauge the health of Pakistan's economy. It is reviewed semi-annually to ensure representation of the most active stocks. The PSX, established in 2016 through the merger of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad stock exchanges, is the sole stock exchange in Pakistan.
