Stockmarket fair in Ctg to create awareness
A two-day capital market fair will begin in Chittagong tomorrow, aiming to spread financial literacy among investors.
The exhibition will build a bridge between the listed companies and the investors for the mutual exchange of knowledge and information, said Wali-ul-Maroof Matin, managing director of Chittagong Stock Exchange, which is organising the event.
The stockmarket is a place where people should have proper knowledge and information before making investment and counting profit, Matin said at a press conference in the port city yesterday.
“We all know what happened in the past in the market due to lack of awareness. Creating awareness is the key so that those incidents do not happen again,” he said, referring to the market crash of 2010-11.
“We are organising the fifth edition of the capital market fair to provide information and knowledge to the investors.”
Some 200 market experts, including CSE officials, trading right entitlement certificate holders and listed company officials will be present at the venue to respond to queries made by investors.
The fair will remain open from 10am to 8pm.
A total of 98 stalls have been set up at the GEC Convention Centre and the event is scheduled to be inaugurated by Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman M Khairul Hossain.
Four seminars on exchange traded funds, personal portfolio management, initial public offerings and capital market reforms will be held on the sidelines.
The CSE will also demonstrate its online trading system at the fair.
Nasir Uddin Chowdhury, an independent director of CSE, Md Mohiuddin, a director of CSE, also spoke.
