In July-November of FY19, NSC sales increased by 2.31 per cent or Tk 489.86 crore compared with that of Tk 21,172.07 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal year, according to the latest Directorate of National Savings data. According to DNS officials people rushed for the NSCs as the instruments offered higher interest rates than the bank products. The rates offered by the NSCs are between 11.04 per cent and 11.76 per cent. Most of the banks offer 4-6 per cent interest rate against their deposit products with a view to reducing lending rate to facilitate investment following an initiative from the government high ups. If the trend in NSC sales continues in the rest seven months of FY19, government’s fund collection from NSC sales might double of its annual target.

Dhaka Stock Exchange, the country’s premier bourse, has sought grants from Business Finance for the Poor in Bangladesh, a programme funded by British government, to launch a small capital board at the bourse. The bourse and market regulator Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission made the approach of creating a separate board for small-capitalised companies at the stock market as a move for market diversification and vibrancy. To run the separate board, DSE has recently initiated a project proposal named ‘Ease of access to equity financing for small and medium enterprise’ to promote SMEs for growth and development and subsequently listing with the small capital platform. The bourse has estimated the total cost for the project at Tk 2.74 crore and participated in a competition conducted by BFP-B to get fund. In the programme, it appealed for 50 per cent of the cost, which is Tk 1.37 crore. Under the project, DSE has targeted to list 20 SMEs in the first year and 30 SMEs in the second year. The listing would enhance the market capitalisation to Tk 300 crore in 2019 and Tk 500 crore in 2020.
