The DSE Brokers Association of Bangladesh (DBA) has welcomed the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission’s (BSEC) initiative to amend the Margin Rules, 2025, describing the move as a timely step toward strengthening the country’s capital market.

According to a BSEC press release issued on Saturday, the DBA also expressed its gratitude to BSEC Chairman and the Commission for undertaking the reform initiative.

The association said the proposed amendments were discussed at a meeting organized by the BSEC on July 13. Representatives from the DBA and the Bangladesh Merchant Bankers Association (BMBA) attended the meeting, where participants shared their views, recommendations, and concerns regarding the revised margin regulations.

The BSEC carefully considered the feedback and assured stakeholders that their suggestions would be taken into account during the reform process, prompting the DBA to thank the regulator for its consultative approach.

The DBA said the initiative would help establish a balanced, modern, and effective regulatory framework, making Bangladesh’s capital market more transparent, disciplined, and sustainable.

The association also expressed hope that the draft of the revised Margin Rules, 2025 would soon be published for public consultation. It said the DBA would submit its recommendations to the BSEC after reviewing the draft.

DBA President Saiful Islam said the association supports the BSEC’s reform agenda aimed at building a stronger, more modern, and investor-friendly capital market.

He added that the DBA remains committed to working closely with the BSEC on future reform initiatives to promote the development of Bangladesh’s capital market.
