Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission has drafted rules for short sales of shares to legalise the issue at the country’s capital market with the aim of launching new products including derivatives and sukuk at the market. Short sales are a transaction in which the seller does not actually own the stock that is being sold but borrows it from the broker-dealer through which he or she is placing the sell order. The seller then has the obligation to buy back the stock at some point in the future. Short sales are not permitted in the country’s capital market as per the existing rules. BSEC has recently posted the rules on its web site seeking public opinions. According to the drafted rules, stockbrokers may only enter into the short sales of any eligible securities on behalf of clients, if the transaction is confirmed by the client in a format approved by the exchange and the stockbroker takes the responsibility for ensuring the timely delivery of the securities.
