  • Cryptocurrency, best performing assets in Pakistan

    Cryptocurrency, best performing assets in Pakistan

    Amongst major asset classes used by local investors, Cryptocurrency and Property remained the best performing asset class in Pakistan in 2021, said analysts at Topline Securities.

    On the other hand, Pakistan equities underperformed all other asset classes in 2021 posting a return of 1 per cent with 6 trading sessions left. This remained much lower than equity historical 30-year CAGR of 14 per cent.

    Cryptocurrency which is not currently officially recognized by Pakistan but used by many local investors, saw huge gains in 2021. Cryptocurrency thrived during the pandemic on the back of retail investor influx, huge leverage availability, and low transaction cost. The widely followed Cryptocurrency Bitcoin has rallied by 87 per cent in  2021 in PKR terms. 

    Pakistan property market also remained a star performer gaining 23 per cent per plot price index. This was led by a series of incentives announced by the federal government and central bank (SBP) to support the construction sector.

    Moreover, amnesty Scheme, low taxes, ability to park undocumented wealth, and opportunity for oversees Pakistanis to invest in housing through Roshan Digital Account (RDA) led to strong interest in Property sector in 2021.

    Pakistan’s weak external account situation and rising interest rates led to lower interest in equities which despite posting decent returns in 1H2021 is likely to close flat in 2021. KSE-100 index peaked in 1H2021 at 48,726 index level on Jun 14, 2021 and since then it is down 9 per cent due to concerns on Pakistan macros.

    Due to the pressures on external account situation of the country, Pak rupee also depreciated by 11 per cent against US$. Thus, holders of US$ made decent returns while holder of Naya Pakistan US$ Certificate (Roshan Digital) also made 18 per cent in PKR terms. Gold also posted gains of 10 per cent in PKR in 2021 as investors continue to see Gold as a safe heaven under uncertain economic outlook.

    Fixed income returns were lower compared to other asset classes due to rising yields. Average yields on 1-year T-Bill stood at 8.3 per cent, 1-year Special Saving Certificate stood at 8.6 per cent whereas average rate on 10-year PIB stood at 10.4 per cent.
