The correct sentence is:
Further, to augment bond market liquidity, corporates need to be encouraged to reissue existing bonds under the same International Securities Identification Number, to duly shore up floating stock.
Explanation:
-
Reissue: This means issuing bonds again that were previously issued — which fits perfectly with the idea of using the same ISIN (International Securities Identification Number).
-
Stock: In finance, floating stock refers to the number of shares or bonds available for trading. So "shore up floating stock" means increasing the amount of tradable bonds, which improves market liquidity.
✅ Final sentence: Further, to augment bond market liquidity, corporates need to be encouraged to reissue existing bonds under the same International Securities Identification Number, to duly shore up floating stock.
