The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission is ramping up various initiatives and activities to enhance investment education and capital market awareness across the nation.
The commission has consistently strived to educate and make investors aware through the expansion of investment education and capital market awareness, said a BSEC press release on Monday.
In a major push to accelerate these nationwide awareness programmes, the Financial Institutions Division requested the Cabinet Division to secure the cooperation of all district and upazila administrations for the successful implementation of capital market awareness and investment education activities.
In response to this request, the Field Administration Coordination Sub-section of the Cabinet Division issued a directive on October 8, asking all district and upazila administrations to take necessary measures.
The letter instructed the Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to provide necessary instructions to all district information officers, and copies were also sent to divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners and upazila nirbahi officers across the country.
The Cabinet Division has requested that all district and upazila administrations provide cooperation and take the necessary measures for linking educational resources, event coordination, agenda inclusion, promotional initiatives and information focal point.
BSEC has believed that these steps will further accelerate the investment education and capital market awareness creation activities nationwide.
The commission has expected that through the involvement of all stakeholders, the public and investors will become educated and aware, thereby playing a crucial role in the development of the country鈥檚 capital market and economy.
It is also noted that as a result of BSEC鈥檚 sincere efforts, the organisation has recently completed the linkage of its investment education website and YouTube channel link on the National Information Portal.
