Mohammad Mufazzal

The IPO (initial public offering) proposals of some 44 companies are awaiting the securities regulator's nod to raise a substantial aggregate amount of fund under the fixed price and book building method, officials said.

The officials of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) said, among the companies, 42 have submitted IPO proposals to go public under fixed price method and the remaining two under the book building method.

"Normally, the securities regulator approves two proposals every month. The time of giving regulatory approval depends on the seriousness of the issuer companies," said a senior BSEC official.
He said a company can get the regulatory approval before another one, which earlier submitted its IPO proposal, by fulfilling the deficiencies before the preceding one.

Among the companies, whose IPO proposals are under the regulatory scrutiny, majority number of companies came from the textile sector.

The other companies came from the sectors of Power, pharmaceuticals, Real Estate, Insurance, Engineering, Cement and Chemical.

These companies have demanded premium up to Tk 86 for each ten taka share.

Among the companies, Energypac Power Generation and United Power Generation and Distribution have submitted their proposals to go public under the book building method.
