The key index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange has surged by 5.44%, marking the highest increase in four and a half years. Following the fall of Sheikh Hasina, the index has gained 13% or 695 points in just three days. Investors are pleased as stocks of financially healthy companies have risen, rather than those of companies with poor financials.
