Cooperation with China is an important opportunity for us
People’s Daily
In May 2018, the consortium of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange reached a cooperation agreement with the Dhaka Stock Exchange of Bangladesh.
According to the agreement, the Chinese consortium became a strategic investor of the Dhaka Stock Exchange. In October 2018, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange led five companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange to Bangladesh to connect with local companies and discuss with major Bangladeshi financial institutions to explore opportunities for greater cooperation between the two countries.
This has opened up vast space for future cooperation between the two countries in the capital market, said Rahman, general manager of the Dhaka Stock Exchange, who has been engaged in the financial industry for more than 40 years. We are interested not only in Chinas sufficient funds but also in its advanced technologies and development experience.
My company is actively preparing to list on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. Like many other Bangladeshi companies, we hope to strengthen cooperation with China in the financial sector, said Shameem Ahsan, chairman of E-Generation and former president of the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services.
We are very lucky. Cooperation with China is an important opportunity for us, said Anis A. Khan, Managing Director and CEO of Mutual Trust Bank. Bangladesh, a good neighbour of China, is implementing a go east strategy. The Belt and Road construction is in full swing in both China and Bangladesh, and the financial cooperation between the two countries is already in the fast lane.
Today, thanks to the extensive cooperation between the two countries, China has become Bangladeshs largest source of overseas direct investment. All the Chinese and Bangladeshi institutions involved in financial cooperation hope to contribute to the Belt and Road construction through pragmatic cooperation.
