Capital market to continue operations during lockdown

The capital market will continue operations in the interest of investors in any situation during the Covid-19 pandemic if banking activities continue.

The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) made this disclosure against the backdrop of the government’s preparation for imposing a full lockdown from April 14 next.

A notice posted on the official website of the BSEC said: “All kinds of transactions will continue in the interest of investors and urged the investors not to pay heed to any rumor.”

According to sources at the BSEC, Two stock exchanges — Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), have been instructed that the capital market will also remain open if the banks remain open during the lockdown.

The capital market will operate utilizing smaller shifts and work-from-home facilities.

Earlier, transactions in the capital market were closed due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic from March 26 to May 31 last year.
