E-trading begins at DSE
Dhaka, June 10 (UNB) - Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on Sunday entered electronic trading (e-trading) era with the use of new software MSA Plus, which the bourse leaders think, will help the traders have their control over trading.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Prof Dr M Khairul Hossain formally inaugurated the software in the morning.
The premier bourse president M Rakibur Rahman presided over the function where the DSE leaders were present.
The bourse leaders said the MSA Plus is a trader-friendly software which will help the investors place ‘buy or sale orders’ of their shares through the internet from any part of the world.
The investors from any part of the world can buy and sell shares from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm (BDT) through the system.
Officials involved in the process hoped that the participation of the investors would be increased significantly following the introduction of the system.
The premier bourse took the initiative to support the government plan of ‘Digital Bangladesh.’
Presently, DSE is maintaining a safe network structure to facilitate its 218 member firms from 1,400 locations around the country through 3,700 terminals.
The automated trading system of the DSE was introduced in 1998 which was followed by various steps and modernisation.
The new software was scheduled to be in place in April 2011 and in May 2012 but the DSE failed to maintain the schedule twice.
The DSE authorities experimented several tests like User Acceptance Test, Training of the IT Officers of the security houses, Authorized Trader Training and several mock trading before taking the final decision to introduce the latest software.
