Finance Minister AMA Muhith Thursday stressed the need for skilled human resources to deal with the 'complicated' capital market.
"Human resources in the capital market require extra intelligence as such a market is highly sensitive," he said while speaking at the inaugural ceremony of postgraduate diploma course as the chief guest.
The Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market (BICM) organised the function in the city.
"Ups and downs of the market are common phenomena. Training to be imparted by this institute will help professionals gain practical knowledge and utilise their skills in the capital market," the minister said.
The finance minister informed that the country's capital market started operation before the independence, but it got back its functional capacity recently.
In his speech, Mr Muhith also recalled the contributions of late Khurshid Alam, former chairman of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
Dr. M Aslam Alam, secretary of Bank and Financial Institutions Division (BFID), and Prof M Khairul Hossain, chairman of the securities regulator, attended the ceremony as the special guests.
Mr Aslam said the capital market saw significant developments during the tenure of the incumbent government.
"This government has not only put stress on the size of the market but also emphasised the need for sustainable development. The government has established the BICM aiming to develop human resources," said Mr Alam.
Prof Khairul said the BICM has been established to fulfil the basic demand for skilled human resources of the capital market. "Training by this institute will help the participants make decisions," he added.
At the inauguration ceremony, Mohammad Abdul Hannan Zoarder, executive president of BICM, made a presentation on establishment of the institute, training programmes so far arranged by BICM and its future plan.
