KASB Market View

 

  • Revival of IMF program would keep market sentiments bullish for the day. Apart from the Fund, Pakistan is expected to receive inflows from ADB, KSA and China next month that would ease off the liquidity issues.
  • The tax collection target is revised up to PkR 7.4trn from PkR 7.0trn for FY23. The government would also impose a PDL of PkR 5/ltr every month increasing to PkR 50/lltr. This would increase the inflation readings further in the coming months.
  • We recommend Technology and Textile sectors.
