GP coming on Sunday

Grameenphone shares will hit the prime bourse on Monday Nov 16, as the largest issue in the country's history, the Dhaka Stock Exchange president said Wednesday. Rakibur Rahman told that the date was fixed at a DSE board meeting Wednesday.

Chittagong Stock Exchange is also likely to start trading of the scrip the same day, though officials could not confirm. The port city bourse authority handed GP the listing confirmation letter Wednesday at its Dhaka office.

There had been widespread speculation the issue would start trading from Sunday Nov 15.

"We are all set to start from Sunday but if GP wants, we will start on Monday," AKM Shahroze Alam, manager of CSE's corporate development wing
