BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage and the Bangladesh Institute of Capital Market (BICM) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen capital market education and enhance industry readiness in Bangladesh.
The partnership aims to improve investor awareness and narrow the gap between academic learning and practical market requirements through collaboration in financial education, research, and capacity building, BRAC EPL said in a press release on Thursday.
As part of the collaboration, BICM will develop customised training programmes for BRAC EPL professionals, while industry practitioners from the brokerage will participate as guest lecturers in BICM programmes to share real-world market insights.
Under the three-year agreement, the two organisations will jointly promote financial literacy among students, professionals, and retail investors, with a focus on developing market-relevant skills for Bangladesh’s capital market.
The agreement also creates scope for internship opportunities and sectoral attachments for eligible BICM students, potentially leading to employment opportunities in the capital market.
The MoU was signed by BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage CEO Ahsanur Rahman and BICM Executive President Wajid Hasan Shah.
BRAC EPL Head of Research Salim Afzal Shawon and BICM Associate Professor Faysal Ahmad Khan was present there.
