In the last six sessions, Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSEX) lost 163 points. After the announcement of recent confusing statements by Bangladesh Bank authorities (announcement on a new mechanism for adjusting the banks' capital market exposure which made the investors confused), the fall was the highest—43.25 points or 1.02 per cent.

BB authority's careless, thoughtless measures and irresponsible statements and activities brought down the stock market, causing millions to lose their capital and earnings. We demand that the responsible BB officials be brought to book and sentenced for their financial crimes in order to set an example of impartiality and justice.
