Capital Market and its Prospects and Problems in Bangladesh

Abstract

A country's whole financial system may depend on a healthy capital market. Bangladesh's capital market is far less developed than that of many other nations, including those of its neighbors. In 1976, the capital market in Bangladesh was given a new lease of life. The market has been volatile ever since then. In recent years, the market has reached new heights on a near-constant basis. Inadequate financial depth, product diversity, uniformity of the supporting legal and regulatory framework, and similar issues continue to plague the country's capital market despite the many improvements made over the years. Although facing several internal and external obstacles, the market's potential is highlighted in this report. There have been proposals for new policies to inject the market with more energy, making it an instrument of the rapid economic development the government has prioritized.
