Shafaqna Pakistan: Foreign investors emerged as net buyers at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for the first time in nearly two years, reflecting renewed confidence in the country’s equity market at the beginning of the current fiscal year.
Official data showed that overseas investors made net investments of $34.4 million in the PSX during July 2026, a significant turnaround from June, when they offloaded shares worth $180 million and pulled funds out of the market.
The figures indicate that foreign investors became net buyers for the first time in almost 23 months, with the banking and oil and gas exploration sectors attracting the largest share of overseas investment during the month.
Foreign investors purchased banking sector shares worth $13.8 million, while investments in exploration companies totalled $6.7 million during July.
However, the data also indicated that overseas investors preferred to offload shares in the cement sector during the same period.
