LankaBangla Securities, analysing last week’s market situation, said, “Stocks ended the week with consistent gain as the market was driven by industry specific news and economic updates.”

LankaBangla said the central bank decided to hold off on interest rate cut in the 2015-16 fiscal to curb the volatility in inflation, while private banks are expecting to reduce lending rate to single-digit levels by January next and urged the government to cut further the yield rates on National Savings Certificates (NSC).
