A terrible week in bourse

Stocks witnessed a free-fall in the last week after adding 280 points in the previous two weeks. DSEX has now come below the psychological 4,500-mark as shaky investors dumped their holdings amid concerns about the implication of single-digit interest rates on banks’ businesses. The court order on Grameenphone to pay another Tk 1,000 crore to the BTRC within 90 days also prompted investors to dump its shares.
