What the numbers say
In 2025, Pakistan's s&P Global Equity Indices (annual % change) fell 28.93 percentage points on 2024 (from 73.23% to 44.29%).
Across the 26 yearly changes before that (1997 to 2024), the average change was +2.98 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 54.13 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 144.8 percentage points in 2002 and the biggest yearly fall was 88.81 percentage points in 1998. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 23% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
S&P Global Equity Indices measure the U.S. dollar price change in the stock markets covered by the S&P BMI country indices.
Limitations: Markets included in Standard & Poor's emerging markets category vary widely in level of development. Thus, it is best to look at the entire category to identify the most significant market trends. It is also useful to remember that stock market trends may be distorted by currency conversions, especially when a currency has registered a significant devaluation.
