DHAKA, Oct 28, 2025 (BSS) - A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed today between Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) and Dhaka Stock Exchange PLC (DSE) at the DSE tower. 

DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed and DSE Chairman Mominul Islam signed the document on behalf of their respective organizations.

According to the cooperation agreement, DCCI and DSE will engage in joint research, seminars, symposiums and policy dialogues that promote market transparency, capacity building and investors’ confidence. 

Besides, this partnership will be instrumental in exploring simplified criteria and awareness initiatives to facilitate greater SME participation in the capital market, said a press release.

DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed said this MoU represents not just a formal partnership rather a shared vision to strengthen Bangladesh’s economic foundation through cooperation, knowledge exchange, and innovation.
 
“Together, we are opening a new chapter of collaboration that bridges the capital market and the private sector, empowering businesses, especially SMEs, to access finance, grow sustainably and contribute more effectively to our national development,” he added.

DSE Chairman Mominul Islam said that through this signed agreement, DSE and DCCI would be able to foster innovation, promote research and advocate for policies conducive to the development of the capital market. 

He also stated that SMEs do not have the proper understanding of how to get enlisted in the capital market; however, with this joint collaboration with DCCI the SME entrepreneurs would be able to know about the enlistment process along with other facilities offered by DSE through seminars, workshops and other events. 

Mominul believes that through this mutual cooperation, trust and concerted efforts of both DSE and DCCI would be benefited.

DCCI Senior Vice President Razeev H Chowdhury, COO & Managing Director (Acting) of DSE Mohammad Asadur Rahman, members of the DCCI and DSE board of directors, among others, were also present on the occasion.
