CSE MD Emphasizes Capacity Building Ahead of Commodity and Derivatives Trading Launch

 

 August 27, 2025, Chottogram:

 

Chittagong Stock Exchange PLC (CSE), as part of its continuous preparations to launch commodity derivatives trading, has organized a two-day Train-the-Trainers program for broker representatives. These representatives will play a critical role in educating investors and in-house teams on future trading opportunities and risk management tools.

 

While addressing the participants, the Managing Director of CSE highlighted the importance of such capacity-building initiatives before going live with commodity products. He emphasized:

      “Before introducing commodity trading, it is essential that our authorized representatives are properly trained. They must pass on that knowledge to different segments of investors, including equity investors and those involved in the commodity value chain.”

 

He further stated that CSE has already submitted proposals to the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) for the approval of trading in key products like gold, silver, and crude palm oil (FCPO). Once approved, these products will be available for trading on CSE’s integrated platform.

 

The MD noted:

“This continuous training and product expansion will not only attract more investors but also transform the entire structure of Bangladesh’s capital market. Commodity derivatives trading will introduce new investment avenues, ensure efficiency in the commodity ecosystem, and contribute meaningfully to the national economy.” He added that the system developed by CSE is also capable of handling equity derivatives and index futures, and these will be introduced once BSEC finalizes the regulatory framework and grants permission.

 

Additionally, the Exchange is exploring the potential to list more commodity products in the future—such as soybean oil, wheat, sugar, etc.—based on feasibility studies and stakeholder feedback across the value chain.

 

Broker representatives were also encouraged to regularly arrange similar training programs so that investor awareness and participation in hedging, speculation, and arbitrage strategies continue to grow.

 

Participants included renowned representatives from leading brokerage firms, including:

  •     City Brokerage Limited
  •     LankaBangla Securities Limited
  •     BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage Limited
  •     Be Rich Limited
  •     ICB Securities Trading Company Limited
  •     Royal Capital Limited
  •     UCB Stock Brokerage Limited
  •     Island Securities Ltd.
  •     T. K. Shares & Securities Ltd.
  •     One Securities Limited

 

All senior managers of CSE were present during the inaugural session, reflecting the Exchange’s strong commitment to investor education, financial innovation, and long-term capital market development.
