Bol teams up with DSE to encourage companies to offload shares

UNB, Dhaka
Board of Investment (Bol) has joined hands with the country's main bourse -- the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) - to encourage companies both from home and abroad to offload their shares in stock market.
A Bol-DSE meeting yesterday agreed to co-operate in four areas as part of the stock market development efforts for bringing more scrips to the stock-hungry market.
"The DSE has the potential to become a big one like the Bombay and Karachi stock exchanges, as the local market now got a momentum," Bol Executive Chairman Mahmudur Rahman told reporters following the meeting at the DSE conference room.
Bol will arrange within a month a meeting with the investors, both existing and negotiating ones, so that the DSE could make a presentation to encourage the investors to
offload stocks.
Bol will also include representation from the DSE in any of its delegation abroad as well as installing a web-link between the web sites of the two organisations to facilitate investors with easy access to information of the two organisations.
Besides, the Bol executive chairman said, he would try to convince the foreign investors, including Tata, Orascom and Abu Dhabi group, to mobilise a portion of their capital requirement from the local equity market.
He said he would also take up with the government authorities the issue of government shares in the multinational companies and the state-run companies.
"There is a lot of potential of the capital market to grow, as I have been informed that the market has the capacity to mobilise a capital between Tk 1,200 crore to Tk 1,500 crore through primary offers," Mahmudur Rahman said.
DSE Chief Executive Officer Salahuddin Ahmed Khan said the Bol would talk to the stock market regulator - the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) -whether the Bol would be able to put a DSE desk in the Bol office.
The Bol executive chairman said he would also try to take up the issue of Sonargaon Hotel in which Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz had shown investment interest.
The DSE CEO also apprised that Orascom Telecom, the mobile phone operator of Banglalink, was considering off-loading a portion of their shares in the market in next three years.
GrameenPhone is also coming forward and expected to come in the market within this year, he said, adding that the next target of DSE is to tie up with the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) as many of the enterprises in EPZs have expansion plans.
