Brief History
Bangladesh capital market has achieved some major milestone events in the recent past. The capital market operations in this part of the country started in mid-fifties with the establishment of East Pakistan Stock Exchange Association in 1954, which started trading in 1956. Initially it was a mutual organization (cooperative body) which was corporatized in recent activity of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in term of turnover in the name of Dacca Stock Exchange Ltd.

    Devolopment of Bond Market in Bangladesh

    Purpose: A corporate bond is a bond issued by a corporation. It is a bond that a corporation issues to raise money in order to expand its business. The term is usually applied to longerterm debt instruments, generally with a maturity date falling at least a year after their issue date. The study focuses on Bond market development in Bangladesh, an emerging market. The policy environment for bond market development in Bangladesh is studied with the initiatives by various sectors over the past decade (2001 – recent year). This paper also aims at understanding the hurdles Bangladesh is facing in developing its own local currency bond market over last decade. Design/ Methods: The study uses published secondary data from various relevant sources and the researchers have used personal observation and experience regarding the country’s socio economic and political background and their impact on the bond market. Findings: Developing bond markets is more complicated than developing equity markets. They operate best when they have money market and longer-term benchmarks. Numerous factors suggest that Bangladesh could not develop an active, local-currency, and fixed-income market. The obstacles include improper regulations, unwilling investors and borrowers, lack of market confidence and ineffective infrastructure. The market participants in Bangladesh are skeptical whether the government can succeed in this endeavor. Practical Implications: Because of large quantum of long-term fund requirement with the liberalization of the energy and communication sectors, major infrastructure sectors like oil & gas, power, telecommunications, shipping, airlines and port development, the government financing for such sectors would be lesser in the days to come. Existing financial system of the country does not have either the capability or the instruments to support these sectors. The rational…

Especially at times when the banking sector of the country is facing the challenge of bringing down the advance deposit ratio to sustainable level, the economy of the country is unfolding newer horizon of opportunities.

    Vietnam stock market operation

    Vietnam’s securities markets are supervised and essentially managed by the State Securities Commission which is part of the Ministry of Finance. A Law on Securities (23/08/2006) was adopted in June of 2006 to facilitate the development of the securities market speedily and sustainably. Ten years after Vietnam's stock exchange began, it's become a symbol of what the country is trying to achieve but has yet to fully realize: a market-based economy. In this communist nation, the stock market is seen as the ultimate symbol of capitalism, because people have the freedom to choose their own financial fates, for good or bad, through their investments. The stock market has grown significantly — only two stocks were traded in the beginning, compared with 586 today on both the Ho Chi Minh Exchange and the Hanoi Exchange — and is attracting a growing number of domestic investors. It's also become a crucial channel for companies that want to raise medium- and long-term capital. As stock market plays an important role in mobilizing capital for companies, we would like to provide some basic information about the operation of Vietnamese stock market.…

    My BBA Thesis Paper

    BACKGROUND: During the last two years, most of the Private Equity (PE) companies of Bangladesh have increased their investments significantly. Easy access to capital, as well as inexpensive leverage, has led to an increase in activity of PE buy-outs of market leaders with strong cash flow. The competition for objects that are for sale has amplified, which has resulted in price increases of the objects. The higher prices offered by the PE companies also affects the number of initial public offerings (IPO) on the Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges. One reason for the small number of current IPOs is that the objects simply have been valued higher by PE companies than they would do in an IPO.…
