“Investors who bring the floor price should raise it by themselves”
Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) Chairman Professor Shibli Rubayat-Ul-Islam stated that every decision in the stock market tends to provoke either anger or joy among individuals. In such cases, we tend to favor what the majority desires or what will be beneficial. We do not want floor prices, but those who bring up this issue here (investors) will have to raise the floor price themselves. We will not increase the floor price.
On Tuesday (23 May), during the inauguration ceremony of the new brokerage house of Gibson Securities Limited at Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), the principal guest expressed these views.
The BSEC Chairman mentioned that the newly approved brokerage houses are improving the stock market. Our decision to grant licenses to new brokerage houses was accurate.
Regarding the investors’ intentions,he said there will be no repetition of 1996 or 2010 in the stock market. If anyone manipulates after the increase in floor price, we will revert back to the floor price. You all are engaged in business. We hope that soon all companies will rise above the floor price. Through investment in the capital market, there are opportunities to improve your future days. If everyone actively participates in the market, everyone will benefit.
Professor Shibli Rubayat-Ul-Islam said, “We are trying to bring good companies to the stock market. However, when we enforce governance and compliance, companies are not eager to come. Even the companies that come are not preferred.”
He mentioned that government bonds offer higher returns than FDIs. However, none of you are engaging in buying and selling them. Despite that, government securities are currently providing returns of up to 11%. Therefore, brokerage houses need to market government securities.
