Momentum reports that the total market turnover in March reached 3.9 billion dinars (approximately 33.1 million euros).
Messer Tehnogas (TGAS) emerged as the most traded stock, with transactions amounting to 62.7 million dinars, largely attributed to the announcement and subsequent publication of a takeover bid by its majority owner.
