M Mashroor Riaz has been appointed as the chairman of the capital market regulatory body Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC).
The appointment was made by the Advisory Council of the Interim Government on Tuesday (August 13).
M Mashroor Riaz was an official of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He is currently the Chairman of the Policy Exchange Research Institute.
Professor Shibli Rubaiyat-ul-Islam resigned from the post of BSEC chairman last Sunday (August 11) due to the recent political change. Two commissioners of the organization Sheikh Shamsuddin Ahmed and Dr. Rumana Islam resigned on the next day.
After the resignation of the chairman and two commissioners, the capital market is running in a leadership-less state.
