The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has approved new regulations aimed at resolving disputes between investors and capital market entities more efficiently.
At its 976th meeting on Tuesday, chaired by BSEC Chairman Khondoker Rashed Maqsood, the commission approved separate regulations for the Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges.
The newly approved rules include the Dhaka Stock Exchange (Settlement of Dispute) Regulations, 2025 and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (Settlement of Dispute) Regulations, 2025.
The commission said the regulations will be sent to the respective stock exchanges and will be enforced through official gazette notification.
Under the new framework, disputes or complaints between investors and stock brokers, dealers, or issuing companies can be settled through mediation and arbitration, bypassing lengthy legal and enforcement procedures.
BSEC expects that the new regulations will enable faster and more efficient resolution of disputes in the capital market, reducing reliance on time-consuming and complex legal processes.
