Earlier this morning, “Kaohoon Online” reported that Asian Development Bank (ADB) is expecting to sell 176,000,000 shares of GULF and 68,000,000 shares of BGRIM at a discount round 4-5%.

 

Meanwhile, the source close to a financial field revealed to “Kaohoon Online” that ADB was required to allocate its investment in energy stocks due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

It has been anticipated that ADB has been selling a lot of stocks during the coronavirus crisis, causing its proportion in power generation stocks to top other sectors, which led to a force-sell in GULF and BGRIM.

The source stated that the allocation and adjustment is very common and seen by leading funding companies such as Temasek Holdings, a Singaporean holding company.
