Karachi: The KSE-100 Index, which showed a slight negative trend in February 2025, is anticipated to see a positive shift following the forthcoming International Monetary Fund (IMF) review. This development comes as investors express concerns over recent U.S. actions and their implications for the market.

According to a statement by AKD Securities Limited, the index's recent performance was influenced by a lower-than-expected interest rate cut. Investors are now looking forward to Pakistan's first biannual review of the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) with the IMF. The anticipated monetary easing is expected to bolster investor confidence and improve market conditions.

The successful completion of the review in conjunction with expected policy adjustments could pave the way for a more favorable outlook for the KSE-100 Index. Investors and market analysts are closely monitoring the situation, hopeful for a positive outcome that would reflect in the market's performance.
