The Bangladesh stock (equity) market has experienced significant fluctuations since the 2010 market crash, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic and political environment.

The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has alleged that manipulators were fuelling protests against the regulator to prevent it from taking a stand against corruption and reforming the stock market.

Shares on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) rose yesterday as investors continued to maintain a high rate of trade over the past 10 days with hopes of a further increase in the stock prices.
