DHAKA -- Bangladeshi stock exchange authorities are monitoring share sales by brokers and financial institutions as they seek to stabilize markets after a six month slide which prompted retail investors to come out in protest.
The government stepped in last month when confidence was hit by the collapse of a leasing company and concerns over weakened bank liquidity. In late July the Dhaka Stock Exchange Broad Index hit its lowest level in two and half years, falling 16.5% between late January and July 22. Volatility was exacerbated by a row between telecom regulator and network operator Grameenphone.
