Govt’s control in stock market must be reduced: Amir Khasru 

Former Commerce Minister, founding chairman of Chattogram Stock Exchange and BNP standing committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury has said, “The government intervention in the stock market is harmful. This control must be reduced. We must also come out of the culture of ‘oil-smashing’. If this culture and political culture are not changed, there will be no benefit.” 

He said this in response to questions from journalists at a workshop titled “Capital Market Restructuring and Reality” at the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) auditorium in Paltan on Monday (July 14). 

ERF and DSE Brokers Association of Bangladesh (DBA) jointly organized the workshop. 

Dhaka Exchange (DSE) Chairman Mominul Islam, Chattogram Stock Exchange (CSE) Chairman AKM Habibur Rahman, DBA President Saiful Islam and others also spoke at the event. 

ERF President Daulat Akhtar Mala presided over the event.
