The main equity market in Pakistan, The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), offers a set of
circumstances that qualifies it as a good case study. Founded in 1947, it is being referred to
as one of the oldest stock markets among the developing countries. There now dominates
with 80 percent of the total trading. KSE is also one of the first emerging markets to be
largely opened to international investors, with the lifting of the restrictions. Between 1960
to 1981, the State Bank of Pakistan’s Index of share prices increased at an annual
compound rate of 3.3 percent whereas between July 1981 and June 1992 it grew at an
annual compound rate of 19.74 percent. International Finance Corporation (IFC), the
monitoring body for emerging capital markets, around the same period ranked Pakistan
third after Argentina and Columbia in terms of one year performance. The development of
the capital markets is termed as necessary condition for the sustainable growth of the
economy. But this growth itself depends upon the legislative and fiscal framework of the
country, demand and supply patterns of the securities. The Pakistani government clearly
focused on the importance of the capital markets and moved more towards the market-
oriented scenario. Government role in the sanctioning and approval for investment was
quite eliminated but have still some room for reforms. The significant developments in the
country’s market are generally attributed to the government’s increasing liberalization
measures that provided for loosening of foreign exchange controls, foreign investment to
the market and easing of investment and banking sector regulation. These developments
were the start towards the better channeling of financial resources for productive
investments. The need was to control interest rates, which were and are conducive to the
savings and investments. Basically capital market refers to institution and individuals,
which helps in facilitating the societies saving into productive investments.
