Bangladesh’s premier bourse picked up a consortium of Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange on Tuesday, a DSE director confirmed to bdnews24.com. The Chinese consortium and another of companies of India, Bangladesh and the US submitted their proposals when the DSE floated tenders for strategic partners three months ago. Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges are among the top bourses in the world boasting $3.5 trillion and $2.2 trillion market capital, respectively. In Ahasanul's view, having them as strategic partners would help Bangladesh diversify products of its capital market. The members of the other consortium that took part in the bidding are India’s National Stock Exchange, Frontier Bangladesh and Nasdaq stock market of the US.
