KSE-100 beats gold and all other investments to become top asset of FY25

In a surprising yet encouraging development for investors, the KSE-100 index has claimed the title of best-performing asset class in Pakistan for the fiscal year 2025, delivering a staggering return of over 60%.

With a return of 60.15%, the KSE-100 outpaced traditional safe-haven assets like gold, which posted a 45% return. Government-backed instruments and currencies fell much further behind—T-Bills returned 21.44%, bank deposits 12.60%, Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs) 11.97%, Defense Saving Certificates 11.90%, and the US dollar only 1.95% against the rupee.

So what powered the stock market’s unexpected boom?

According to analysts at Arif Habib Limited, it was a perfect blend of factors: aggressive monetary easing by the central bank, improved liquidity in the market, and the uncovering of value in key sectors that had long been undervalued. In simple terms, investors came back with confidence, and the fundamentals finally caught up.

The rally marks a refreshing turn for Pakistan’s capital markets, which had faced a tough few years of uncertainty and volatility. For both seasoned investors and new entrants, the KSE-100’s performance in FY25 was a welcome sign that with the right economic signals, the local stock market can outperform even the most traditional and stable investments.
