According to market insiders, the rise made it evident that the market is recovering from the recent continual slide.
The insiders said the regulator's move to review the current market situation with
market stakeholders including stock exchanges, merchant bankers and leading brokerage houses proved to be a positive step.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday met with the authorities of Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges and leading brokerage houses as well as merchant bankers.
At the meeting, all the stakeholders reiterated that the recent slide was due to price correction, which they said is a normal phenomenon in any stockmarket.
The SEC asked the merchant bankers and authorities of the brokerage houses to organize monthly awareness programmes for their clients or/and investors.
The market insiders said the news concerning Grameenphone's plan to raise $300 million (Tk 2,058 crore) through the stock market and
private placement encouraged the investors. Grameenphone, the country's largest mobile phone operator, took the decision after reassessing its valuation at $ 3.2 billion last month.
The company on Wednesday said a formal initial public offering (IPO) prospectus to raise $150 million from the stock market would be submitted to the SEC by the end of this month. The rest of the money will be raised through private placement or pre IPO
