Protection of Bangladeshi stock market employees

The regulatory authority, Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), has imposed a requirement on companies operating in the stock market to underwrite life and health insurance policies for their employees.

This decision applies to listed companies and stock market intermediaries (investment bankers, brokerage houses, asset management companies, credit rating agencies, etc.). The BSEC's objective is to guarantee the protection of employees in the context of a pandemic.
