About CDC Pakistan
“One heavy blow is not enough to produce a market crash. It requires several different blows to bring a market to its knees.”
David Shwartz, stock market historian
The Roaring Twenties 1920-30 was a time of wealth and excess in the US.
SPECULATION & WARNING
Despite the dangers of speculation, many believed that the US stock market would continue to rise indefinitely.
The US stock market collapsed on October 29, 1929. It was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of both the US and the world.
STOCK MARKET HYSTERIA
On the day of the collapse, the share prices fell as low as 89 percent. The NY stock exchange lost $14 billion in value, ten times the annual budget of the federal government at that time.
GREAT DEPRESSION1929-1940
The subsequent 10-year long Great Depression effected all western industrialized countries. It effectively stifled high-risk investment in the U.S. until after World War II.
GREATEST FINANCIAL CRISIS EVER
The crash led to the biggest financial crisis of the 20th century, with mass foreclosures & falling prices, untold bankruptcies and business closures & repossessions.
MASSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT
A quarter of working people (13-15 million) were unemployed, with soup kitchens serving to hundreds and thousands at a time.
We all know that Stock Market is a RISKY business
• Volatility & Uncertainty• Highly dependable external factors like war,
political situation, security conditions, natural disasters, currency devaluation, tax implications, etc.
• Rumor Mongering• Domino Effect
Risks that involve…
• Revenue Management• Resource Management (IT & Human)• Difficult Strategic Planning
Impact on other Stock Market institutions
Just like any other stock market, the Pakistan Capital Market(including The Karachi Stock Exchange) is a volatile market.
However, despite challenges, it has progressedcontinuously and has had an upward index trend.
