September 24, 2021 (MLN): The local bourse extended a bearish spell on Friday owing to the lack of positive triggers and a roll-over week.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has revised Prudential Regulations (PRs) for consumer financing to moderate imports and demand growth which has compelled investors to behave cautiously.

In addition, SBP has also asked commercial banks to provide information about imports worth $500,000. Prior to the revision, the banks had to submit information up to $1 million worth of imports.

These events have significantly sidelined the investors’ interest and succumbed the trading floor into profit booking activity which resulted in the benchmark KSE-100 index losing 223.36 points to close at 45,073.52.
