The capital market must be protected from rumors as the stock market is much affected by them, Md. Sayadur Rahman, president of the Bangladesh Merchant Bankers’ Association of Bangladesh (BMBA), said.
“The capital market is a very sensitive place. A tiny mistake may bring huge losses for the investors. For this reason, before writing a report, one should cross-check the relevant issue. So that investors can get the right information,” said Sayadur.

Sayadur said most people have a formal education. However, there are some technical issues in the capital market that need to be learned from the concerned person or organization for better understanding.
“If we can learn these technical issues related to the capital market, the country’s capital market will benefit a lot,” he said.
He said that the capital markets will fluctuate, which is a very common issue. The capital markets of all countries in the world fluctuate as well.
