Zenith Islami Life Insurance plans to raise Tk15 crore through an initial public offering (IPO) from the capital market to comply with regulatory requirements and expand its business, as reported by the Business Standard.

The company has applied to the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) to issue 1.5 crore ordinary shares at a face value of Tk10 each.

Under its expansion plan, the life insurer aims to invest in FDR, government treasury bonds, the capital market, and cover IPO expenses.
