The Dhaka Stock Exchange and the DSE Brokers Association of Bangladesh asked the finance adviser Salehuddin Ahmed for his help to support investors affected by corruption and irregularities in the capital market.
An eight-member team, led by DSE chairman Mominul Islam and DBA president Saiful Islam, met the adviser at his office on Tuesday, according to a press release from the DSE.
The delegation outlined challenges hindering market development and proposed measures to overcome them.
They suggested ways to rebuild investor confidence, including offering support to struggling investors, addressing negative equity issues, encouraging the listing of government and multinational companies on the stock exchange, and implementing adjustments to tax policies.
In response, the finance adviser assured the DSE and DBA representatives that their ideas would be carefully reviewed.
He also encouraged the delegation to work together with the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission and all other stakeholders to improve the market.
The delegation also expressed full support for the reforms being carried out by the BSEC and said they were hopeful that the market would perform better in the coming year when the changes take effect.
The delegation included DSE shareholder directors Shakil Rizvi, Mohammad Shahjahan, Minhaz Mannan Emon, Richard D鈥橰ozario, and DBA vice-president Omar Haider.
