The stock market in Bangladesh took 15 months to recover from the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and reach new price highs. The introduction of floor prices, along with stimulus measures and limited investment opportunities, attracted fresh investments and led to a faster growth rate compared to other Asian countries.

Some positive signs, such as increased purchase volumes by foreign investors and a recent rise in daily market turnover, have brought back optimism.

Also make stock market breaking free from the floor price remains uncertain.
