Prof Abu Ahmed, Stock Market Analyst: The partnership between Dhaka Stock Exchange and a Chinese consortium will not cause any positive output immediately. Many are curious to know why no changes are taking place in the country’s stock market even after the partnership of the Chinese consortium with the DSE. Benefits will not come in this case as fast as we thought. Rather it will be time-consuming. China will not able to anything with the companies listed with the DSE. The Chinese partnership in the DSE is a good thing and it will be in place in the long run. But the move will not lead to any immediate facility to the bull market.
Many of us have the flawed notion that China will not buy any share. Some among us think that China will purchase chares; but it is not the case in reality. They will not buy share from the stock market since they have bought a share of the DSE. There is no way to have the impression that China having a share in the DSE will push up the trade in Bangladesh’s stock market. The listed companies will have to increase their income if the share market wants to see a boost. The overall economy will have to be healthy. There have to be handsome dividends. Why will the investors be interested if there is no healthy dividend?
