The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) is planning to introduce an 'Islamic Shariah Index' to increase investment of Islamic Shariah-based banks in the stock market, official said.
DSE president and coordinator of the Stock Market Coordination Committee Rakibur Rahman said this after a meeting of the committee at the DSE board-room Thursday.
Convener of the committee and president of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) Kazi Akram Uddin Ahmed chaired the meeting.

"We have held a meeting with the representatives of Islami Bank Bangladesh for preparing a guideline to introduce the proposed 'Islamic Shariah Index'. We will also form a committee in near future in this regard," said Rakibur.
"Islami Bank is the biggest bank in our country. If they enter the stock market, the market will be more vibrant."
He also informed that the DSE is also talking with the Standard and Poor's (S&P) for introduction of the new index.
