Shibli Rubayat suggests for digital transactions

The government is set to announce a one-week nationwide lockdown from Monday (April 5) due to the rise of coronavirus infections. During the lockdown, the stock market along with banking activities will remain open. 

Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) Chairman Professor Dr Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam advised investors to adopt digital methods (mobile phones, e-mail, online, apps) for the transaction of the stock market. 

He came up with the suggestions while talking to risingbd on Saturday (April 3) over the stock market in the wake of the lockdown.

Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam said, “The stock market will remain open digitally. Investors have nothing to be worried.”

He added, “We do not want investors unnecessarily to come and sit in brokerage houses amid the coronavirus situation. Since the stock market will remain open, I urge investors to transact digitally.”
