News Desk: On the occasion of World Investor Week 2022, Bangladesh Academy for Securities Market (BASM) and Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market organized a webinar titled 'Investor Resilience and Sustainable Financing' on Tuesday (October 11). The welcome speech of the seminar was delivered by the Executive President of Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market. Mahmuda Akhter said, “The theme of this year's Investment Week is Investor Resilience and Sustainable Finance. In simple Bengali, the ability of investors to turn around or weather storms and sustainable investment. The two things are actually opposites of the coin - because any kind of disaster can be overcome only by making sustainable investments. And this requires proper investment education and the market to use that education. In order to secure our capital markets, we also need to educate investors on proper investment education. " In the seminar "Financial Literacy and Financial Resilience" presented the top article, faculty of Bangladesh Academy for Securities Markets, Grade-3 Dr. Nitai Chandra Debnath, FCMA. He said, “Financial resilience is largely dependent on financial literacy. He analyzed the data and showed that financial resilience is more among the uneducated than the educated. Economic status, gender plays a role in this. He also emphasized on investment education for the future in his recommendations.” In the seminar, Imran Mahmud, lecturer of Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market, presented a paper entitled "Financial Sustainability for Bangladesh: The Role of Capital Market". He said, “It is not enough to rely on the bank sector alone for sustainable financing to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. He analyzed the data and gave some suggestions. Notable among these is that NBR can issue tax exemptions for companies as well as carbon taxing policies. Governments can use durable bonds to finance their projects instead of borrowing from banking channels. Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission could have introduced a mandatory ESG reporting.” Director General of Bangladesh Academy for Securities Markets (BASM). Tawfiq Ahmed Chowdhury said in his discussion, "Not only investors, but all stakeholders including market intermediaries, policy makers need financial education. Not only financial education, but also saving education should be brought into the syllabus of our education system. And this issue of financial education should start from the marginal stage. He also said that systemic resilience should be thought about. We need to think holistically about the financial sector for Bangladesh.” Research Fellow of Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market Dr. Subarna Barua, Associate Professor, Department of International Business, Dhaka University said in his talk, “Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission is trying its best to create a sustainable capital market. They are bringing new products including green bonds to the market. But these new terms need proper definition. For example, Bangladesh Bank has released a new policy for green bonds. Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission also needs to have such a policy.” The speech of the special guest in the seminar was the Commissioner of Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission. Sheikh Shamsuddin Ahmed said, "If financial education can be imparted to people from childhood, it will be successful. All should be brought under financial inclusion through many initiatives. The government is trying in this direction. We are also working.” The chief guest of the seminar, Professor Shibli Rubaiyat-ul-Islam, chairman of Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission, said in his speech, “We need to work more on investor resilience and sustainable finance. We are working on some new bonds and innovative products. He also said that rumors damage the market, confusing investors. He urged everyone to work together to prevent rumours. At the same time, BICM and BASM were instructed to provide new innovative product ideas in the market through their research work.”
