Capital market to be strong after reforms: Finance Adviser 

Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed has said that the capital market is now temporarily in a bad state due to reforms but it will be in a good position after the completion of reforms.

The finance adviser said this while talking to journalists after a programme held at the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) office in Nikunja area of the capital on Tuesday.

He said, “The capital market will be aligned with banks in long-term financing. Good government and private companies will be listed on the capital market. Naturally, the capital market will be good in the long-run through good shares.”

The depth of the country’s stock market is very limited, which discourages reputed companies from investing in it, he said during his speech at the programme organised by the DSE to discuss the current situation of the stock market.

Representatives of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), Bangladesh Bank, National Board of Revenue (NBR), Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), DSE Brokers Association of Bangladesh (DBA), Bangladesh Merchant Bankers Association (BMBA), Central Depository Bangladesh Limited (CDBL), Central Counterparty Bangladesh Limited (CCBL), Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB), and Financial Reporting Council (FRC) attended the meeting.
