This takes the British hygiene, health and nutrition product manufacturer’s profit in the nine months of 2020 to Tk43.2 crore, up 34.6% year-on-year, it said. This makes Reckitt a clear winner from the pandemic, which has upended lives and livelihoods like no other. Listed in the Dhaka Stock Exchange in 1987, Reckitt Benckiser shares have been on an upward trajectory this year. Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive officer of Reckitt Benckiser, expects consumers to continue to pay greater attention to their personal hygiene beyond the pandemic. General public holds about 6.5% of Reckitt shares, foreign investors 3% and institutional investors 3.8%.
