The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) will suspend trading on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to observe Youm-e-Takbeer, a national holiday marking Pakistan’s 1998 nuclear tests.
The exchange issued an official notice on Monday confirming the closure, aligning with the government’s declaration of a public holiday. “Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited will remain closed on May 28, 2025, in observance of Youm-e-Takbeer,” the notice stated.
Youm-e-Takbeer commemorates Pakistan’s historic nuclear tests conducted on May 28, 1998, in the Chaghi hills of Balochistan. These tests made Pakistan the seventh nuclear-armed nation and the first Muslim-majority country to achieve nuclear capability, strengthening its regional defense posture.
Normal trading activities will resume on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Investors and stakeholders should plan transactions accordingly.
The PSX regularly closes for national holidays, with advance notices provided to ensure minimal disruption to market participants.
