Bashar new CRO of DSE

The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the appointment of Khairul Bashar Abu Taher Mohammad, chief executive officer of MTB Capital Ltd, as the new chief regulatory officer of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).

The stock market regulator issued a letter in this regard on Wednesday.

Bashar, who has vast experience in stock market portfolio management, financial risk, risk management, corporate finance, and banking, replaced Shawkat Jahan Khan, who resigned in November, two months after joining the premier bourse of the country.

He joined MTB Capital on March 1, 2011, as the CEO of the merchant bank.

He contributed to the listing of several small and medium enterprises to the SME board of the DSE by acting as their issue manager.

The commission had also approved the appointment of M Asheq Rahman as the CRO of the DSE on July 7, 2021, only to cancel it on July 19 for the disagreement over terms and conditions.
