Bangladesh: Amid lockdown, transactions in capital market will continue digitally

Dhaka — Amid strict lockdown from July 5 from 10 am to 1 pm, trading in the capital market will be open only in digital mode. The government imposed strict restrictions on Thursday (July 1) from 6 am to midnight on July 7 to curb the rise in coronavirus. As a result, all institutions and transactions related to the capital market will be closed on July 1 and 4.

No investor can physically attend any institution. The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), the regulator of the capital market has directed that stock market transactions be allowed to continue after the government imposes restrictions.

Besides, BSEC has arranged special passes for the movement of employees of capital market-related organizations under strict restrictions.
