The government will fulfill the vacancies of the top officials at the securities regulator timely to avoid disruptions in the operations of regulatory affairs. A top official of the financial institutions division (FID) of the ministry of finance (MoF) said this following the discussions regarding the vacancies created in the posts of two commissioners at the securities regulator. The tenure of the chairman of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) also will end on May 14. After his departure, there will be only one commissioner at the BSEC. The BSEC office, stock exchanges and trading on bourses remained closed since March 26 following the public holiday announced to flatten the infection curve of Covid-19. The commission of the securities regulator is comprised of its chairman and four commissioners and the quorum is fulfilled at the commissioner meeting if at least the chairman and two commissioners remain present. The securities regulator became unable to hold any commission meeting since May 4 due to quorum crisis created following the expiry of the tenure of the BSEC commissioner professor Helal Uddin Nizami. Before facing quorum crisis, the incumbent commission held its last meeting on April 29.
The government’s move to provide cash assistance to 50 lakh poor families hit by the coronavirus pandemic is finally taking off, with the four major mobile financial service providers set to deliver it from May 14. The disbursement will be kicked off by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who will hand over Tk 2,500 each to ten families, said Md. Shah Kamal, senior secretary of the ministry of disaster management and relief. The MFS operators will have to send the Tk 2,500 with the cash-out charge to each family and for disbursement purpose, the government will bear only Tk 15 (0.6 per cent) for each disbursement, said Tanvir A Mishuk, managing director of Nagad, a joint venture of the postal division and a private firm that will disburse the highest amount of Tk 425 crore. The other operators will also get Tk 15 from the government but since their cash-out charge is higher they will have to send that full cash-out value to the beneficiary families, he added. Market leader bKash will disburse Tk 375 crore, Rocket Tk 250 crore and SureCash Tk 200 crore. The database contains the National Identity (NID) number of recipients, their mobile phone numbers, address, the person’s age and the number of family members such that all duplications and other irregularities can be avoided, according to officials.
