PIA privatization crossed the 172 thousand PSX mark
The KSE-100 Index posted a solid gain of +0.58% on a weekly basis, ending the session on a positive note amid strong investor sentiment. The main catalyst was the landmark privatization of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), completed at Rs 135 billion (about US$480 million), marking one of the largest and most significant privatization deals in Pakistan’s history. The successful auction, won by the Arif Habib-led consortium for a 75% stake, marks a major step towards reducing the government’s burden from loss-making state-owned enterprises and boosting private sector confidence.
