On March 25, the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) both passed the last trading day in line with the government’s general holidays announcement. However, we think that the bourses should re-open immediately because no stock markets around the world are remaining closed for such a long period. On the other hand, if the stock market remains closed, it gives a negative signal to the foreign investors that their investment is blocked. Apart from the Philippine Stock Exchange Inc which suspended the operations for two days amid the coronavirus pandemic on March 17, all other major bourses ie the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), London Stock Exchange (LSE), or even our India’s Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd (BSE) are running their full operations. Not a single stock market around the world is closed.
