LAHORE, March 12: The National Savings Organisation will list new short tenure bonds of varying maturity to be launched shortly on the stock exchange.

This was stated by National Savings Organisation (NSO) Director General Zafar M Sheikh during his visit to the Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) on Monday.

LSE MD/CEO Aftab Ahmed welcomed the decision, terming it an important development that would help generate funds. It would also help diversify products offered by the capital markets.
