Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) will be selling the remaining 20 percent of PSX shares to the general public soon, announced the board of directors of the bourse. These shares will be sold through an initial public offering (IPO).

A meeting in this regard was held on Wednesday where the PSX board of directors decided to offer the shares to the general public by the last week of June 2017. The directors have decided that the floor price of the shares would be limited to Rs. 28.00 per share while the strike price would be finalized after bids are received.

Additionally the board of directors have also approved nine month audit accounts for the PSX.
