The Managing Director of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), ATM Tariquzzaman, underscores the critical role of adhering to laws and regulations in fostering good governance within the capital market. Speaking at a two-day workshop on “Securities Related Laws” and “Effective Compliance of Securities Related Laws,” Tariquzzaman emphasized that the proper implementation of regulatory frameworks is pivotal for the stock market’s integrity.
The workshop, organized at the Multipurpose Hall of the institution in Nikunja, aimed to bolster institutional capacity, enhance transparency and accountability, integrate good governance principles, and ensure the responsible utilization of DSE resources in alignment with the “Vision 2041.”
Tariquzzaman emphasized that every participant in the capital market, from brokers and dealers to track holders, must abide by the numerous laws and regulations governing the sector. The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) plays a crucial role in formulating these regulations, which market participants are obligated to follow.
Highlighting the significance of track holders and authorized representatives, Tariquzzaman noted that they serve as the gatekeepers of the capital market, acting as a bridge between investors and the stock exchange. The MD stressed the collective responsibility to comply with monitoring and enforcement provisions, asserting that proper implementation would bolster investor confidence and participation in the capital market.
Responding to queries from track holders, Tariquzzaman mentioned that the DSE has submitted opinions on various rules and regulations to the BSEC. Additionally, there are proposals in the pipeline for consideration, reflecting the commitment to collaborative efforts in developing the capital market. The keynote paper at the workshop was presented by DSE Chief Regulator Officer Khairul Bashar Abu Taher Mohammed, with General Manager Md Samiul Islam conducting the event.
