Karachi: Pakistan has finalized a significant trade agreement with the United States aimed at enhancing bilateral trade, expanding market access, and attracting foreign investment. The agreement, announced by AKD Securities Limited, is expected to foster cooperation in areas of mutual interest, including mineral mining, technology, cryptocurrency, and infrastructure projects.
The strategic partnership is anticipated to lower reciprocal tariffs, which could pave the way for increased investment interest from the United States. This development is seen as a potential catalyst for reviving foreign direct investment (FDI) in Pakistan.
The agreement’s impact is also expected to resonate in Pakistan’s financial markets. AKD Securities Limited projects that the Karachi Stock Exchange 100 Index (KSE-100) will maintain its upward trajectory, targeting a year-end index level of 165,215. This optimistic outlook is supported by declining interest rates and a stable currency.
The sectors identified for cooperation—mineral mining, technology, cryptocurrency, and infrastructure—are seen as key areas for economic growth and innovation. By opening doors for potential FDI, the agreement aims to strengthen the economic ties between the two countries.
The trade agreement marks a significant step forward in U.S.-Pakistan relations, setting the stage for future collaboration and economic growth.
