ISLAMABAD, Aug 06 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday expressed deep satisfaction over the performance of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), as the benchmark KSE-100 Index surged past the historic 145,000-point milestone.
In a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, Shehbaz Sharif said the bullish trend in the stock market is a strong reflection of investor confidence in the government’s economic policies.
