Efficient human capital key to strong capital market: BSEC chief
Efficient human capital is necessary for a sustainable and strong capital market, said Prof Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam, chairman of Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC).
"So, human capital development is one of the key priorities of the government," he said as the chief guest in a training session on CFA Level 1 curriculum for CFA (chartered financial analyst) candidates from Bangladesh Bank and BSEC.
The inaugural ceremony of the training was organised by CFA Society Bangladesh, the local member society of CFA Institute, on Friday. The CFA Institute works for setting the highest standards of ethics, education, and professional excellence.
"We need proper human capital and the right person at the right place," said the BSEC chairman.
This is why professional education and professional excellence are required, he added.
The most relevant part of the curriculum for CFA candidates is ethics, said Faisal Ahmed, a member of the society and senior economist of the International Monetary Fund.
He urged the members and candidates not to compromise in ethical issues.
CFA is a way of life, not just a certification, said Prof Lutfey Siddiqi, adjunct professor at the National University of Singapore RMI.
It is a burden of responsibility of ethics, professional excellence, he said.
Financial education is a must for the ultimate benefit of the society, Siddiqi said.
Md Shaheen Iqbal, president of CFA Society Bangladesh, also spoke at the event while Shahidul Islam, director of the society, moderated the session.
