The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) saw a significant decline in daily turnover, hitting a five-month low of Tk 3.23 billion, down 36% on 26th May. This marks the lowest turnover since January 3, when it was Tk 2.92 billion. Market experts cite increased policy rates, higher Treasury securities yields, potential capital gains tax, and rumors of rising corporate tax rates for listed companies as contributing factors to the market’s downturn. Despite recent regulatory measures aimed at boosting liquidity, investor confidence remains low due to persistent market declines. Over the past nine trading days, most securities have experienced significant price erosions, leading the DSE benchmark index to fall by over 61 points, or 1.15% , to 5,250—a 37-month low since April 2021.
