24. FUTURE PLANS INTRODUCTION OF KSE-30 INDEX The primary objective of the KSE-30 Index is to have a benchmark by which the stock price performance can be compared to over a period of time. In particular, the KSE-30 Index is designed to provide investors with a sense of how large company’s scrips of the Pakistan’s equity market are performing. Thus, the KSE-30 Index will be similar to other indicators that track various sectors of country’s economic activity such as the gross national product, consumer price index, etc. Globally, the Free-float Methodology of index construction is considered to be an industry best practice and all major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, S&P, STOXX and SENSEX have adopted the same. MSCI, a leading global index provider, shifted all its indices to the Free-float Methodology in 2002
