DSE General Index
The Dhaka Stock Exchange General Index on Tuesday reached 2802.61 marks for the first time in the 51-year history of DSE, which was 2762.37 points on Monday. Yesterday was the closing day of DSE as trading at DSE will start on October 16 next. Many market analysts and capital market experts say that DSE general index is showing upward trend due to onrush of people in the secondary market. Fine it is if the onrush can be continued through increasing the supply of quality shares in the market. While inaugurating the DSE training academy and 2-day training programme for the members of the Economic Reporters' Forum recently, the Finance Adviser expressed the intention of the government to off-load shares of some state-owned companies including BTTB, Jamuna Bridge, Padma and Jamuna Oil Company and portion of shares of DESCO. Yes, if the government does so then it will surely help the country gain more, as a strong and vibrant capital market is the barometer of the economy. But, above all, one thing should be kept in mind that without judging the fundamentals of the company investors should not invest.
