DHAKA, March 1, 2026 (BSS) — The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has officially invited public opinions, suggestions, and objections regarding the draft 'Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (Capital Market Related Information Disclosure and Whistleblower Protection) Rules, 2026.'

The commission has drafted these rules by exercising the powers conferred under the following legislative provisions ‘Section 33(1) of the Securities and Exchange Ordinance, 1969 (Ordinance No. XVII of 1969)’ and ‘Section 24(1) of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission Act, 1993 (Act No. 15 of 1993)’.

The proposed regulation, titled Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (Capital Market Related Information Disclosure and Whistleblower Protection) Rules, 2026, establishes a dual-purpose mechanism for maintaining market integrity.

 It provides a comprehensive framework for the transparent disclosure of capital market information while simultaneously ensuring robust legal protection for whistleblowers who report financial irregularities or sector-specific malpractices.
