Market indices

KSE began with a 50 shares index. As the market grew, a representative index was needed. On November 1, 1991, the KSE-100 was introduced and remains to this date the most generally accepted measure of the Exchange. The KSE-100 is a capitalisation-weighted index and consists of 100 companies representing about 90 percent of market capitalisation of the Exchange.

In 1995, the need was felt for an all share index to reconfirm the KSE-100 and also to provide the basis of index trading in future. On August 29, 1995, the KSE all share index was constructed and introduced on September 18, 1995.

The KSE 100 index reached its highest ever 53,103 points in May, 2017.
