Common questions
Who regulates the capital market in Bangladesh?
The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) is the statutory regulator for securities issuance, intermediaries and listed companies, and the Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges apply their own listing regulations alongside it.
Can a foreign investor buy shares on the Dhaka Stock Exchange?
Yes. Foreign investors can hold listed Bangladeshi securities, typically through a non-resident investor's account operated by a local bank, which is also the route by which sale proceeds and dividends are remitted out.
What is required to list a company in Bangladesh?
Listing requires BSEC consent to the issue, an approved prospectus or offer document, and satisfaction of the exchange's listing criteria on matters such as paid-up capital, financial track record and public shareholding. The preparation usually takes considerably longer than the approval itself.
