Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (Margin) Rules, 2025 (Updated until 17 August 2025)

The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission establishes the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (Margin) Rules, 2025, to regulate margin financing for equity securities on the Main Board. The rules mandate that margin financiers maintain separate bank accounts, execute written margin agreements, and adhere to a maintenance margin requirement of 50% of client equity. Financing is prohibited for securities with a trailing P/E ratio exceeding 40 (or P/B ratio exceeding 3 for life insurance companies), negative EPS, or those listed on SME, ATB, OTC, or Reverse platforms. Additionally, financiers must develop internal risk management policies and are restricted from financing securities where operations are suspended or auditors have issued qualified opinions.
