Beating Inflation with PSX Stocks
Pakistan’s average inflation over the past 20 years: ~8%. PSX’s KSE-100 returned ~14% annualized. Result: stocks beat inflation by 6% per year on average.
Savings accounts (5‑6%) and national savings schemes (~10%) barely keep up after tax.
Lesson: A diversified portfolio of PSX stocks is one of the best long‑term hedges against rising prices.
