Rocketing KSE attracts $152M in foreign funds during February, 2008
The KSE has now beat its high three days running, and closed above 15,000 for the first time. Even at these levels, it remains one of Asia’s most attractive high-growth markets because of the comparatively conservative P/E multiples blue-chip companies on the bourse are trading at. This has not gone unnoticed by foreign portfolio fund managers. Foreign investment in the KSE is continuing to increase, as this quote from a News story indicates:
“According to the State Bank of Pakistan, foreign investors made new investments of $22,100,000 in Pakistani stock market on February 25, 2008″
