The finance minister also discussed the option of organising a non-deal roadshow (NDR) and later a deal roadshow. An NDR allows participating companies to share information about company performance and future goals while connecting with current and future investors. While a deal roadshow enables businesses to discuss better tools of IPOs, debt and equity financing.
The Finance Minister has also invited the AIIB President to visit Pakistan.
