the short run and the long run impact of macroeconomic
variables on stock exchange prices in case of Pakistan. The
relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock
exchange prices has earned indispensable attention to study
for the flourishment of the business activity and the
economic prosperity. To analyze the relationship, the
