The successful IPO and listing of Agha Steel Industries Limited again demonstrates the depth and liquidity in our capital market for good companies.
This is the third listing of a company on pakistan stock exchange for the fiscal year 2021. We are expecting more listings on the boards of the Exchange in the near future. We are confident that with the simplification of rules for listing on the GEM board of PSX recently, medium sized growth enterprises will come forward for listing as well".
