Pakistan Stock Exchange’s benchmark KSE100 index closed Wednesday's trading session with a decline of 375.17 points after what had started off as a promising trading session on the back of multiple positive developments overnight with news regarding renewal of GSP+ by EU for two years and a three month postponement on FATF.
