OSLO (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) will on Tuesday begin the execution of its planned share buyback programme for 2024, the Danish maker of obesity drug Wegovy and diabetes treatment Ozempic said in a statement.

Novo on Jan. 31 said it planned to carry out a share repurchase plan of up to 20 billion Danish crowns ($2.88 billion) to reduce the company's share capital and to meet obligations arising from share-based incentive programmes.
