Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)– Bangladesh Share Investors’ Association (BSIA) has urged the government to take proper initiatives for a sustainable stock market expressing deep concern over the continuous plunges in the market.
The press release was served after a meeting held at a city hotel where the members of BSIA discussed the overall situation of the stock market.
At a meeting the investors raised question regarding the responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), merchant banks, brokerage firms, institutional investors and state-owned investment bank – ICB.
“A vested quarter is trying to tarnish the image of government by making the stock market unstable,” a BSIA press statement said. “Why were proper initiatives not taken one year ago when the market was going up abnormally?” it questioned.
“A vested quarter is eagerly waiting for a big disaster and the government should be alert about such conspiracy,” the press release added.
