A military-backed government in place since January has lured investors by pledging to sell state enterprises and arresting about 150 former officials to fight corruption.

Takaful Islami Insurance's IPOs: 1. General Application 2. Non-resident Bangladeshi 3. Mutual Fund 4 Bank Code

 
Bangladesh stands out among developing nations, courtesy of a few positive aspects that clearly differentiates it from other nations in similar phases of economic development. Its substantial human resources, cheap labour, diverse foreign investment opportunities, the prospect of doubling foreign remittances, its proactive civil society and many achievements of its vast network of NGOs, and a rapidly expanding private sector, make it clear that Bangladesh has the potential for an extremely bright future.

Among its many peers, Bangladesh is perhaps unique with its `society centric' nature. These were reiterated by two of Bangladesh's ambassadors' to the United States, one present and one former, Ambassador Humayun Kabir and Ambassador Farooq Sobhan, at the two-day long first ever Bangladeshi conference at perhaps the most prominent seat of higher learning - Harvard University.

Ambassador Kabir, unlike many of our `too articulate' envoys was focused on saying, ”In Bangladesh, we are currently passing through a complex process of rediscovering our soul, and in the process, reinventing our identity as a modern and moderate nation. Two interlocking priorities are now defining our future. One is the effort to strengthen democracy and the other is to create and maintain decent economic opportunities for our people in an environment of peace and harmony. While our egalitarian social structure represents the solid foundation for democracy in Bangladesh, there is clear consensus that only democratic governance may lift Bangladesh to a middle income country."

He added, “The logic is simple. Being a society centric nation with incredible entrepreneurial ability of individuals, only all-inclusive and participatory democracy at all levels can effectively channel the enormous energy, creativity and dynamism of the common people towards good governance and true development. “

Another speaker, Syed Saad Andaleeb, who teaches marketing at Pennsylvania University, also emphasized the need for good governance. In marketing parlance, where customer satisfaction and loyalty get prime billing, it is said that marketing is not the job of the marketing department alone; everyone in the organization must work to deliver customer satisfaction. In nation building similarly everyone must play their part; school teachers and professors must work seriously everyday to nurture the nation's talent, doctors must not be caught moonlighting, judges must deliver justice, policeman must maintain law and order, companies and individuals must pay their taxes. If everyone plays by the rules of society, doing what they are supposed to do instead of looking over their shoulders to check on others, we will have made immediate and enormous progress.”

His colleague from Columbia, Dr. Rounaq Jahan echoed the same tone` “If we are always appraised by our students every year on our teaching quality, our politicians possibly deserve it more and they should take it in good spirit and make corrective measures.”

Other speakers like the former chief tax collector, Dr. Mashiur Rahman, and the editor of Prothom Alo, Matiur Rahman, both agreed that rights to dissent and opposition are the basic preambles of democracy and intellectually and morally inspired political leadership can only take us forward to the next trajectory of growth.

Bangladeshi scholars from Bangladesh, North America, Australia and Europe, all agreed that Bangladesh has a bright future, provided the people `who matter' come forward with a `few immediate fixes', clear all bottlenecks towards wealth creation and ensure distribution through better governance and an accountable political regime.

However this is not something new that we didn't know. What's new is Bangladesh is coming onto the radar of the 'biggies'. The 'biggies' are getting increasingly engaged in the possible future of Bangladesh. The resilience of Bangladesh and its success despite numerous adversities, has shown them that the country has a future, perhaps even a bright one, emanating from a tolerant society, disciplined and young workforce, people ready to sacrifice democracy for the time being to restore democracy in its true form and a `no bullshit' entrepreneur class truly focused on wealth creation and able to make best use of the resources available. In January this year, Bangladeshi executives working for the Wall Street corporations highlighted this and now the Harvard conference on the 13th and 14th June only re-affirmed that Bangladesh truly has a bright future, provided we play the game well.

THE SEC implemented revised mutual fund regulations on July 22. According to the amended rule, mutual funds are prohibited from issuing new shares either in the form of right or bonus shares to increase their capital bases.

The SEC also imposed restrictions on mutual funds asking them not to offer pre-emptive rights shares or private placement. This implies that mutual fund shares should be offered and sold to the public through brokers/dealers but not to a pre-selected buyer or a group of buyers.

The SEC's decision to amend fund rules brought numerous investors into the street as most of the mutual funds lost value (in some cases more than 20% in a single trading session) during that volatile market (late June to mid-July) and worried investors began demonstrating against the officials of SEC

Introducing financial trading rooms in business schools-------M. Imtiaz Mazumder

MOST of the public and private universities in Bangladesh offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees (BBA, MBA etc.) with major concentration in Business, Finance and Accounting. However, none is aware of whether these universities offer courses on stock trading and market micro-structure. The price discovery process of stocks is discussed theoretically and empirically in a 'market micro-structure and equity trading' course. Students may learn about investing in an 'investment and portfolio theory' course. But, stock trading is different from investing. However, both converge in the long run because portfolio managers trade to convert an investment decision to a portfolio position. Since many of these Finance and Accounting graduates will build their career as professional portfolio managers, buy/sell side analysts, investment bankers etc., it is important that they receive class-room training and experiment on real-life stock trading. An introduction of financial trading room in business schools of these universities will offer students a balance between theory and practice..more
