                    [Summary] => The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has extended a $3-million loan to Bangladesh to help reinforce investor confidence in Bangladesh’s financial markets through better governance in the capital market and the insurance sector. 


Investor confidence in the capital market has not fully recovered since the stock market crash in 1996, largely due to weak governance and market gaps. Lack of market interest has, in turn, marginalized the role of the capital market in mobilizing long-term funds for economic development.
