Overview
Pakistan's stock turnover ratio stood at 29.19% in 2025, a decline of +8.89pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 29.19% by 2025. Pakistan ranked 22nd globally.
Pakistan's Stock Turnover Ratio has experienced significant fluctuations since 1993, with the all-time peak of 467.95% in 2000 and the all-time trough of 0.34% in 1993. Over the span of 23 years, the indicator has gradually increased, reaching a value of 29.19% in 2025, ranking 22nd globally. This growth is comparable to that of Indonesia, which also has a stock turnover ratio of 25.90%. However, Pakistan's ratio remains lower than that of Kuwait, which stands at 29.47%. The steady rise since 1993 suggests a gradual improvement in the country's stock market liquidity. Despite this progress, the ratio still lags behind that of more developed economies such as Switzerland, which has a stock turnover ratio of 27.65%. A sustained increase in investor confidence and economic growth could potentially propel Pakistan's stock turnover ratio higher, potentially exceeding that of its peers and leading to a more efficient and dynamic stock market.
