B Mirror Report: A significant memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market (BICM) and the DSE Stock Brokers Association of Bangladesh (DBA) to improve the skills of stock market intermediaries and promote investment education.

The signing ceremony took place on Tuesday (17 February) at the DBA meeting room in the DSE Tower, Nikunja, Dhaka. The MoU was signed on behalf of their respective organizations by BICM’s Executive President Wajid Hasan Shah and DBA President Saiful Islam.

The primary objective of this agreement is to expand investment education for the staff under DBA as well as employees of the Trec-Holder institutions of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and ensure their professional development. The joint initiative is expected to play a key role in raising awareness about the complexities of the stock market and helping personnel adapt to modern market practices.

Under this MoU, employees of DBA and Trec-Holder institutions will have easy access to BICM-organized foundational workshops on investment. Additionally, they will enjoy special financial benefits or discounts when enrolling in various specialized certificate courses offered by BICM.

During the event, it was announced that whenever DBA organizes any stock market-related training workshop, BICM will provide experienced and expert resource persons for technical support. This will enable brokerage house employees to gain both theoretical and practical knowledge directly, ultimately paving the way for better services to retail investors.

BICM Company Secretary A.S.M. Saiyem and DBA General Secretary Didarul Gani were also present at the signing ceremony. Market observers regard this joint initiative between the two organizations as a positive step toward building a skilled workforce to maintain stability in the stock market.
