KSE 100 Index

Karachi Stock Exchange 100 Index (KSE-100 Index) is a stock index acting as
a benchmark to compare prices on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) over a period
of time. In determining representative compaines to compute the index on,
companies with the highest market capitalization are selected. However, to ensure
full market representation, the company with the highest market capitalization from
each sector is also included.

The index was launched in late 1991 with a base of 1,000 points. By 2001, it had
grown to 1,770 points. By 2005, it had skyrocketed to 9,989 points. It then reached
a peak of 12,285 in February 2007.[1] KSE-100 index touched the highest ever
benchmark of 14,814 points on December 26, 2007, a day before the assassination
of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, when the index nosedived.[2] The index
recovered quickly in 2008, reaching new highs near 15,500 (citation needed) in
April. However, by November 22, 2008 during the global financial crisis of 2008 it
had fallen to 9,187.[3]
