The Investment Corporation of Bangladesh has sought Tk 1,000 crore in financial support from Bangladesh Bank on an “Emergency basis” to inject liquidity into the ailing capital market as part of its concerted efforts to bring back investor confidence. The largest financial investor in the capital market sent a letter to Governor Fazle Kabir on September 19 seeking his cooperation in the form of either credit or financial support. Between June 27 and September 26, the DSEX, the Dhaka Stock Exchange’s benchmark index, shed 461 points or 9.29 percent to reach 4,968, which is below the psychological mark of 5,000, while investors lost Tk 23,925 crore. The government has recently instructed the ICB to provide required support to the market amid the ongoing volatility which has dampened investor confidence, according to the letter signed by ICB Managing Director Md Abul Hossain. The ICB has also expressed gratitude for the Central Bank’s strong efforts to perk up the capital market, especially the two instances it provided credit support which were invested on time. The first instance was in 2011 when short-term loans worth Tk 600 crore were provided in three phases in line with Bangladesh Bank Order 1972. The ICB successfully arrested the heavy price fall during the period, protecting marginal investors from further losses. The credit, including interest, was paid back within 90 days. The second was in 2017 when Tk 300 crore was provided and which was now being returned.

Investors will be able to file stock market-related complaints online on the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission’s [BSEC] website from tomorrow, a move aimed at expediting its redress mechanism. To open on a separate window, the system — Customer Complaint Address Module — promises delivering remedies in three weeks. This is a massive shift considering the fact that it takes anywhere between three to four months, even more in some cases, to get solutions through the current practice of physically registering grievances via letters and applications. Investors will need a beneficiary owner’s account number, email address and mobile number to file objections and be able to attach any supporting document. The stock market regulator will send the complaints to the related office through emails setting specific timeframes for responses and solutions. Investors will be provided a complaint ID and be able to check the status of complaints anytime. Those unsatisfied with responses will be able to make further appeals with the regulator.
