The KSE-100 Index is a stock index acting as a benchmark to compare prices on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) over a period.

In 2001, the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) became the highest-performing stock market globally, supported by macroeconomic policies that increased foreign exchange reserves above five billion dollars and strengthened the rupee. Daily trading volumes reached approximately 200 million shares. The market's positive trajectory was temporarily affected by military tensions following an attack on the Indian parliament. Intervention by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and actions against militant groups by President Pervez Musharraf helped stabilize the situation. As a result, the KSE index rose by nearly 400 points, and the market capitalization reached 400 billion rupees.
By February 2007, it had skyrocketed to 12,285 points.

Annual performance


The following table shows the annual performance of the KSE 100 Index based on closing on 31 December each year, which was calculated back to 1990 when the index was launched.




Market indices


KSE began with a 50 shares index. As the market grew, a representative index was needed. On November 1, 1991, the KSE-100 was introduced and remains to this date the most generally accepted measure of the Exchange. The KSE-100 is a capitalisation-weighted index and consists of 100 companies representing about 90 percent of market capitalisation of the Exchange.
In 1995, the need was felt for an all share index to reconfirm the KSE-100 and also to provide the basis of index trading in future. On August 29, 1995, the KSE all share index was constructed and introduced on September 18, 1995.
The KSE 100 index reached its highest ever 53,103 points in May 2017.
