Modern Dyeing & Screen Printing and Rahima Food Corporation have been delisted from the Dhaka Stock Exchange for remaining closed for more than three years. According to the Listing Regulations-2015, any listed security may be delisted if it has stopped commercial operations, productions or explorations for three consecutive years. Of the duo, Rahima Food Corporation is also listed on the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE). The Managing Director of the DSE, said if the delisted companies apply for trading in the over-the-counter market, the premier bourse will look into it. Market insiders said though some people would lose money because of the delisting of the two companies, the decision would turn out to be good for the capital market as people would be cautious about junk shares. Modern Dyeing & Screen Printing was listed on the DSE in 1988. It has Tk 1.36 crore as paid-up capital. Its share price soared 8.25 percent to Tk 326.90 yesterday.

Customs Bond Commissionerate has recommended that the National Board of Revenue give no bond licence to new factories established in the Dhaka city corporations’ areas which are declared residential and commercial parts. CBC Dhaka, the largest bond office of the NBR, has also sought restriction on issuing bond licence to factories with 100 per cent ownership of foreign nationals to prevent misuse of duty-free import facility under bond licence. It recommended that the NBR put a condition of having 51 per cent ownership by local businesses for enjoying duty-free benefit on import of raw materials under bond licence. The NBR issues bonded warehouse licence, commonly known as bond licence, mainly to 100 per cent export-oriented industries offering duty-free raw materials import benefits with some conditions. The conditions include that manufacturers must export the finished goods produced using the raw materials and in no way they should sell the raw materials in the local market. The Industrial Policy-2010 also allows foreign investment in readymade garment and garment accessories sector. CBC has to consider the applications from foreign nationals for issuing bond licence if they have work permits and certificates issued by the investment promotion authority. Till now, some 6,000 export-oriented manufacturers obtained bond licence from the CBC Dhaka. Of which, around 4,000 bond licences currently remain active. There is another bond commissionerate in Chittagong under which the number of bond licensees is 1,368.

Citing the fisheries production in 2016-17, the fisheries minister said the country had produced 84,000 metric tonnes more fishes in 2016-17 fiscal year.

The country’s paper industry has been on a positive growth trajectory as the demand for paper rising on both the local and international markets, insiders said. Only a few years back, imported paper met a large portion of domestic demand, but now the market share and the capacity of local manufacturers has grown significantly, they observed. The number of paper mills has now increased to over 80 from around 50 five years ago, while 15 or 20 more units are set to go into operation soon, sources said. The industry, which is churning out around 1.5 million tonnes of paper a year, has generated 1.0 million direct and indirect employments. Recently, many factories in China and some European countries faced closure due to higher production cost and environmental concerns, which opened up opportunities for a country like Bangladesh. Meanwhile, with more manufacturers entering the market, the export volume is increasing, sources said. According to data of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), the country earned US$75.76 million from export of paper in fiscal year (FY) 2017-18, up 33.22 per cent from the previous fiscal year. The figure for FY 2016-17 was $56.87 million. The sector fetched $42.16 million and $37.3 million in FY 2015-16 and 2014-15 respectively.
