KARACHI: Pakistani stocks plummeted by almost three per cent on Monday over fears of a crackdown on brokers by anti-corruption agencies.

The benchmark Karachi Stock Exchange index of 100 shares lost 2.67 per cent or 905 points to close at 32,986 points.

The index had shed 4.11 per cent during last month’s international turmoil sparked by fears over China’s slowing economy.
