      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pakistan Stock Exchange continued to break records by crossing 60,000 points for the first time in its history on Tuesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The benchmark KSE-100 Index gained 918.92 points or 1.54% to reach 60,730.26 levels at the closing of the trading session.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the KSE-30 Index gained 379.09 points or 1.91% to reach 20,239.63 points at the closing of the market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier, the &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30342236/adb-approves-180-million-loan-for-pakistan"&gt;Asian Development Bank&lt;/a&gt; approved a loan of $180 million for multiple development schemes in Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  sm:w-1/3  w-full  media--right  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--newskitlink  '&gt;    &lt;iframe
        class="nk-iframe" onload="setInterval(()=&gt;{try{this.style.height=this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+'px';}catch{}}, 100)"

    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The money has been earmarked for schemes to provide clean water in Rawalpindi and manage solid waste in Bahawalpur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reports said that the schemes will benefit 1.5 million people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read: &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30342083/imf-team-arrives-in-islamabad-for-tax-talks"&gt;IMF team arrives in Islamabad for tax talks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan expects to receive almost $2 billion from multiple international lenders including the ADB over the next month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The market recovered to the 53,000-point mark in early November after a gap of six years, till then its highest level in history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since then, each 1,000-point mark has set a new record for the market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to the &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30340637/pakistan-imf-reach-staff-level-agreement-as-statement-spells-out-conditions"&gt;IMF deal&lt;/a&gt;, analysts have attributed the performance of the market to fiscal discipline by the government as well as a clampdown on the smuggling and manipulation of the dollar.&lt;/p&gt;
