The benchmark index closed at a new all-time high of 81,155, up 1.52 percent or 1,211 points.
The bullish momentum was observed at the KSE-100 after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff and Pakistani authorities reached a staff-level agreement, said the economic expert.
Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund reached a three-year, $7 billion aid package deal, the Washington-based institution said on Friday.
The new program, which needs to be validated by the Fund’s Executive Board, should enable Pakistan to “cement macroeconomic stability and create conditions for stronger, more inclusive and resilient growth,” according to a statement.
