Pakistan's Finance Minister announced plans to privatize the national airline in November, coinciding with significant gains in the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The benchmark share index surged past the 90,000-point mark, reaching an all-time high during intra-day trading on October 25, 2024. Analysts attribute this rise to economic stabilization and a sense of political equilibrium within the country. The PSX closed the day with gains exceeding 1,000 points, reflecting growing investor confidence in the government's economic policies, as noted by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The index had previously shown a steady increase, closing up 2.09% on October 24, 2024, and extending gains to 1% earlier that day.
