DBA for withdrawal of floor price in stocks
The DSE Brokers Association of Bangladesh (DBA) has expressed deep concern over the deadlock caused by the existing floor price in the country's capital market. The organization has called for the immediate withdrawal of the floor price to restore normal trading in the market.
The DBA sent a letter to the Chairman of the capital market regulator Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), Khondoker Rashed Maqsood, on Monday.
The letter, signed by DBA President Saiful Islam, mentioned that the listed company Beximco Limited has been practically non-transactional for a long time due to the imposition of floor price.
Similarly, the letter mentioned that the normal trading activities for sellers have been hampered due to the imposition of floor price on 03 May 2026.
The DBA further stated that the long-term trading restrictions imposed by the floor price are increasing the risk of negative equity for investors taking margin loans, which is a concern for the overall stability of the market.
In addition, the DBA believes that such artificial price limits are creating a negative perception of the Bangladeshi capital market among international investors.
In such a context, the DBA humbly urges the BSEC to immediately withdraw the floor price imposed on the concerned shares and resume normal trading in the market.
