The Karachi stock index was up 49.4% in 2013 as the pro-business policies of the Sharif government are attracting foreign investment. From the beginning of May 2013 when Sharif was elected prime minister to the end of 2013, foreign investment flows into Pakistan reached $283 million, according to the Clearinghouse of Pakistan. Pakistan's government bonds are also attracting investors with yields declining from 11.69% on the ten year bonds to 7.54% by the end of 2013. Additional upswing sentiment comes from the government paying off $5 billion in debt that hurt investment in the energy sector. The oil and gas sector is about a third of the Karachi Stock Index. Total market capitalization on the Karachi Stock Index is $52 billion, and the largest company is Oil and Gas Development Company.

Support LyrArc

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
