Stocks of Beximco Limited dropped 1.64 per cent to Tk 84 yesterday despite the company s announcement that it would issue Sukuk bonds worth Tk 3,000 crore.
The listed multinational conglomerate informed its investors about the bond through a disclosure published on the website of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
Beximco will issue the bonds in order to finance solar projects and expand its textile factory.

High taxes to stymie sukuk market in corporate sector
Analysts say
High taxes on asset transfers act as the main obstacle to creating a vibrant Sukuk market in the corporate sector, according to market intermediaries.
Sukuk is a real asset-backed security which represents the claim on revenues generated from an underlying asset as well as the ownership of that said asset while abiding by sharia laws.
Although there have been some complexities given the tax issues, the latest initiative taken by the government and the central bank is expected to speed up the process.
The central bank will roll out a Sukuk bond next week in order to raise Tk 8,000 crore for the implementation of a government project that will ensure supply of safe water in every upazila.
