The potential of the Stock Market in the economy is undeniable according to him, since investment in real-estate is not a affordable substitute for the citizens.

Part 2:

In Part 2 of the interview, Sajid Amit talks about the characteristic of the Bangladeshi stock market.

He explains capital market efficiency in Bangladesh and in the US explaining how they fall in the spectrum of weak to strong form.

The Director emphasized the value of financial journalism, which was inaccurate previously. So a multi-faceted awareness training program should be designed, including financial journalists, traders and researchers.

Speaking about IPOs, in-comparison with India, the big companies and locally operating MNCs are not listed in our stock market. Along with introducing their IPOs, big banks should also invest.

With these strategies in place, the development in Bangladesh would be quicker than in other countries and the future of Stock market, according to Sajid Amit, looks promising.
