...STOCK MARKET CRASH OF BANGLADESH IN 2010-11 History of the stock market crashes show that ‘Bull Run’ before a stock market crash is kind of normal phenomenon. There was no exception for the stock market crash of Bangladesh in 2010-11. Most important factors that guided to the Bull Run are described here. Root of bubble Due to political conflict of Bangladesh state of emergency was declared and military took power of the country in 2007. Moreover, during military-backed regime investment in real sectors as well as FDI decreased but the inflow of foreign remittance increased. At that time, investors were looking for alternative investment sector to invest their savings and found stock market as an attractive alternative. According to Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) 2011, the total number of BO Account holders on 20th December, 2010 reached to 3.21 million though the number was 1.25 million in December 2009. Most of these new investors don’t have enough knowledge about the stock market but invest their most or all savings in the market. However, 238 brokerage houses opened 590 branches at 32 districts. As CPD (2011) found, there are some factors which attracts investors such as internet-based trading operation, opening branches of brokerage houses across the country, easy access to the market information, arranging a countrywide 'share mela (fair)'. Unfortunately, to chase huge capital of too many investors, there were not enough supplies of new securities through IPOs in the market...

...BANGLADESH STOCK MARKET GROWING? KEY INDICATORS BASED ASSESSMENT Abstract This paper focuses on the growth of Bangladesh stock market over time. The market trends in terms of market capitalization, market liquidity, market concentration, number of listings, volatility in the market index and foreign portfolio investment were considered. The study finds that key indicators are significantly correlated. Stock market growth index is constructed considering market capitalization ratio; turn over ratio, value traded to GDP ratio and volatility in market index. The findings of the study suggest that although Bangladesh stock market is growing over time, the growth has not yet assumed any stable and obvious trend. We conclude that Bangladesh stock market is still at an early stage of its growth path with a small market size relative to GDP and is characterized by poor liquidity and high market concentration. Introduction Demirguc-Kunt and Levine (1996), Singh (1997) and Levine and Zervos (1998) find that stock market growth plays an important role in predicating future economic growth in situations where the stock markets are active. The arguments of Demirguc-Kunt et al. (1996) indicate that economies without well-functioning stock markets may suffer from three types of imperfections: first, opportunities for risk diversification are limited for investors and entrepreneurs, second, firms are unable to optimally structure their financing packages and third, countries...

...Introduction: The stock market of Bangladesh is considered to be one of the emerging markets in the context of the global financial system. The market has immense potentials for country’s industrialization, development of infrastructure in particular and economic growth in general. The government and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have undertaken a good number of initiatives to meet Bangladesh's development financing requirements with a particular focus on developing long term infrastructure financing and strengthening financial stability through promotion of capital market. In this regard formulation of a Master Plan is of crucial importance. Stock markets or Stock exchanges play an important role in the modern capitalized economy by providing the strength to nation's economic infrastructure. Now the stock market is one of the most important sources for companies to raise capital. Stock market allows businesses to raise additional capital for expansion by transferring the ownership of the company. It provides individuals the opportunity to invest in corporations. The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion at the beginning of October 2008. In Bangladesh, there are two stock exchanges, the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), DSE was setup on April 28, 1954 that started formal trading in 1956. In 1995, CSE was setup. However, in its fifty-eight year’s history the stock market of Bangladesh crashed two times...

...Literature Review on Bangladesh Stock Market Literature Review: 1 Before the decade of eighty much of the stock market literature viewed the present value of dividends to be the principal determinant of market return of stocks. LeRoy and Porter (1981) and Shiller (1981) found that under the assumption of constant discount factor stock prices were too volatile to be consistent with movement in future dividends. The decomposition of stock price movements is very sensitive to what assumption is made about the presence of permanent changes in either real dividend growth or excess stock return (Wohar & Mark, 2006). Cochrane (1992) Timmerman (1995) have argued that fluctuation in stock prices can be explained by time-varying discount rates and future excess returns. Cochrane (1992) by using an alternative methodology to decompose the variability of stock prices also found the variability of excess return to be more important than the variability of dividend growth. A lower degree of efficiency in less developed countries market might be caused by common characteristics of loose disclosure requirements as well as thinness and discontinuity of trading. It is generally assumed that the emerging markets are less efficient than the developed markets. Raihan, et al (2007) found that in Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) in Bangladesh, stock return series do not follow random walk model and the significant autocorrelation co-efficient at different lags do not accept the hypothesis...

...This paper examines the state of relationship between the stock market development & economic growth in Bangladesh. As a third world country, the economic development of Bangladesh is still dependent on the ups & downs of some macroeconomic as well as capital market factors , like, GDP, real GDP, GDP growth, market capitalization, volatility of stocks, Financial Statement information and other financial factors. This paper has been prepared & presented to have a clear view about contribution of capital market to the economic growth of Bangladesh. So far I know, no analytical study regarding this issue still has not been conducted in Bangladesh. So that I’ve desired to study on this topic in a deeper detail to focus on the relationship of capital market & economic growth from both economic & accounting point of view. I also have focused on how the reporting of the Financial Statements of different institutions according to various local & international standards can have an impact in accelerating the economic advancement in Bangladesh. In assessing the impact of stock market on our country’s economy, I have used some statistical techniques & finance issues as correlation & regression analysis, measurement of cost of capital, index method etc based on the data obtained from the main stock exchange of the country DSE. The study reveals that there is a very close & positive relationship of stock market development of Bangladesh with this country’s economic growth. And also another result...

...a new security issue before the offering has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The system of following a book building method for offering new issues through primary markets has become more popular over the conventional method of pre-determining the issue price by merchant bankers and companies, as the same enables more flexibility and transparency in the system of determining the issue price for a primary issue floated in the markets, by giving the potential investors a larger window to participate in helping the company/ merchant banker arrive at the final issue price, according to the demand and supply for instrument, at different price points. The relatively mature capital markets across the globe have established this as a simple and more acceptable and popular method for floating of new issues, rather than arbitrarily determine the issue price at a price point, in advance to the IPO, by way of expected demand for the issue, and the premium it may be able to command. However, in some of the emerging markets where capital markets have not yet become mature enough, book building method for IPO’s is still at a nascent stage. Book building method is a relatively new phenomenon of modern pricing mechanism for IPOs, which encourages companies to enlist with stock exchanges as it ensures fair pricing of initial public offerings (IPO). While in some of the developed...

The results of autocorrelation function, results of ADF and PP tests and also the results of ARIMA models do not support the hypothesis of weak-form of market efficient of DSE. The results of GARCH (p, q)-M models indicate significant departure from the hypothesis of weak form efficiency; the tendency for returns to exhibit volatility clustering;...
