Policy Compliance by Listed Firms Will Boost Capital Market: DSE

Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) director Maj Gen (retd) Mohammad Quamruzzaman today said if listed companies comply with post-listing rules and regulations, the investors of the companies will benefit as well as the capital market. "To maintain the trust of investors, consistently fulfill the listing conditions is the correct and responsible corporate behavior. When a company is listed on the stock exchange through an IPO, it only completes a step of entering the stock market. After listing, the company has to follow certain rules and policies. The main objective of this is to ensure transparency, accountability and corporate governance of the listed companies," he said.

The DSE director said this while speaking at a certificate distribution ceremony on the concluding day of a three-day training workshop titled 'Continuing Listing Requirements Post IPO' at the DSE Training Academy in the city. Quamruzzaman said that domestic and foreign investors evaluate the company's financial reports, regular annual general meetings, fiscal accounts, quarterly accounts, etc. before making investments. Associate Professor of the Dhaka University Finance Department Mohammad Salauddin Chowdhury and Deputy General Manager of the DSE Training Academy Syed Al Amin Rahman also spoke on the occasion.
