CHATTOGRAM, May 13, 2026 (BSS) - Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) PLC organized a specialized training programme on Securities Law Compliance for compliance officers and authorized representatives of its TREC holder companies, aiming to strengthen regulatory awareness and reporting standards in the capital market.

The day-long training session, held on Tuesday, brought together representatives from Chattogram and Sylhet and was conducted by officials of the Compliance, Inspection and Enforcement Department, Md. Zahidul Islam and Md. Rabiul Awal, said a press release today.

The trainers delivered detailed presentations on different aspects of securities laws, particularly focusing on recent amendments and additions to regulations.

They also explained legal interpretations for accurate report preparation and highlighted common mistakes frequently found in reporting procedures to help participants gain a clearer understanding of compliance requirements.

Speaking at the programme, CSE Managing Director M. Shaifur Rahman Mazumdar said the capital market is passing through unprecedented global, political and structural challenges, making regulatory and technical adaptation essential for business sustainability.

He said there is a misconception that strict legal compliance creates obstacles for businesses, adding that greater compliance actually enhances transparency and helps institutions build stronger confidence among customers and stakeholders for long-term success.

Shaifur Rahman also said the CSE is working on introducing new products, including a Commodity Market, and urged market participants to become familiar with the rules and operational framework of the upcoming segments.

Chief Regulatory Officer Mohammad Mahadi Hasan said such training programmes help officials remain updated with frequent regulatory changes and ensure the proper application of securities laws for maintaining a transparent and dynamic capital market.

The programme ended with an interactive question-and-answer session where participants sought clarification on different legal issues. 

Participants termed the session timely and effective and requested the CSE authorities to arrange similar training programmes regularly.

The event was moderated by M. Sadek Ahmed, Head of Training and Awareness at CSE, while senior officials, including Md. Nahidul Islam Khan, DGM and Head of Compliance, Inspection and Enforcement, were also present.
