'Capital market key to Bangladesh's economic future'

Update : 16 Oct 2024, 22:50

Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) Chairman Khondoker Rashed Maqsood emphasized on Wednesday that the country’s capital market should be the primary source of long-term financing for investment in Bangladesh's economic future.

He stressed the need for collaboration and transparency between the regulatory body and the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), signaling a shift towards a more participatory approach, reports UNB.

“Everyone has a significant role to play in achieving this goal,” Maqsood said during a discussion with the DSE's board of directors. “The BSEC will only intervene in policy matters, ensuring that the relationship between BSEC and DSE remains participatory, transparent, and fair.”

The meeting took place at the DSE boardroom, where Maqsood outlined that the BSEC aims to foster a fair and structured approach in its dealings with the stock exchange, rather than imposing unilateral decisions or acting outside the legal framework.

The discussion was attended by several high-ranking officials, including BSEC Commissioners Mohsin Chowdhury, Ali Akbar, and Farzana Lalarukh. Leading the DSE delegation was Chairman Mominul Islam, accompanied by members of the DSE Board of Directors.
