“The government is providing all sorts of supports to create a strong capital market. The market is now stronger than before. If we can make strong the capital market, our economy will be accelerated,” he said.
The minister said this while speaking as the chief guest at a virtual discussion on “Golden Jubilee of Independence: Achievements and Prospects of Bangladesh Capital Market in light of the Vision of Bangabandhu”.
