Market operators said the share prices would have plunged further on the day had the debut trading of the Mudaraba Bond of Islami Bank not taken place.
The debut trading of the Mudaraba Perpetual Bond (MPB) of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) took place on the DSE Sunday with Tk 1.5 billion private placement and Tk 1.5 billion initial-public offerings (IPOs).
