Pakistan Equity Market - Hung Parliament: No More?

  • Provisional, incomplete results show a comfortable PTI win (110-120 seats) in NA which should allow them to form a coalition government in alliance with PMLQ, GDA, select Independent candidates and possibly MQMP.
  • PTI’s economic manifesto remains encouraging, we maintain that Pakistan will likely opt for fresh IMF Program before the end of 2018; thus we believe that conditions imposed by the lender will take the center stage in guiding policy making over the next 12-24 months.
  • The Election results should dispel concerns of Hung Parliament and make PMLN’s anti-establishment policies and graft cases largely irrelevant for economic policy direction; we thus expect the momentum in equities to take KSE-100 to over 44,000 (+6% from last closing) in near term.
