Speakers said strong economies require a vibrant capital market adding that the role of bond market is undeniable in making the capital market vibrant and efficiently functional.
They said Sukuk which is Islamic bond or "Sharia-compliant" bond is very popular all over the world and are an effective product for the capital market.
However, it has been misused as the past regulators and governments have given undesirable benefits to many individuals and institutions.
They said these things at a day-long workshop 'titled Understanding Bond and Sukuk Market' jointly organized by the Capital Market Journalists Forum (CMJF) and BICM on Wednesday. It was held at Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market (BICM) auditorium (multipurpose hall) on Topkhana Road in the capital.
BICM Acting Executive President Nazmus Salehin, CMJF President Golam Samdani Bhuiyan, former President Ziaur Rahman and General Secretary Abu Ali spoke at the event. Faima Akhter, a lecturer at BICM, moderated the event.
Nazmus Salehin said that BICM is working to create skilled manpower. The role of this institution for the capital market is undeniable. But unfortunately, we are not getting manpower as per the requirement.
He said BICM has a Masters program in Applied Finance and Capital Market. The certificate of which is provided by Dhaka University. We are not getting students here either. He said that we are having problems in getting students.
CMJF President Golam Samdani said there is no alternative to bonds in the development of capital market. But there is some deficiencies in knowing and understanding these bonds. This is the reason for this arrangement. I hope that such training will play a role in filling that deficiency.
Ziaur Rahman said if the misuse of bonds is not stopped at the right time, investors will lose confidence in them. I will request the interim government to take action against those who misused bonds and sukuk.
However, he urged the ordinary people investing in sukuk bonds to be careful not to be affected.
CMJF General Secretary Abu Ali said the stock market is a sensitive place. Journalists working in this section have come from outside the economics and commerce departments.
As a result, CMJF is always striving for responsible journalism in sensitive areas. Organizing such training is in line with that. I hope this workshop will play a big role in the stock market and economy.
The training was conducted by BICM Assistant Professor SM Kalbin Salima, Lecturer Faima Akhter and Lecturer Gaurab Roy.
