Abstract

The capital market is a vital organization for the economic development of any country. The capital market deals with business organizations and the government regarding different securities. It engages in the exchange of stocks, bonds, treasury bills, notes and other capital instruments. It acts as an intermediary between the buyers and the sellers in terms of trading securities. The business companies and the government are able to sell different securities to the people through the capital market and get long-term funds. Though the capital market of Bangladesh is small compared to the other capital markets in Asia, it is among the largest capital markets in the South-Asian region.
