Finance Minister AMA Muhith on Saturday said the entire executive body of the Securities and Exchange Commission has to step down for their failure to protect the share market from the recent collapse.

"The chairman of the SEC and its members will have to go," Muhith said at the secretariat, releasing the much-talked-about probe report on the share market scam prepared by a committee led by Ibrahim Khaled.

The finance minister announced that a new chairman and two members will be appointed within a couple of days.

The report, which was submitted nearly a month ago, mainly blames the SEC executives for the country’s biggest share market debacle, he told a crowded press conference in the evening.

Muhith said criminal cases will be filed against SEC Executive Director Anwarul Kabir Bhuiya and Bangladesh House Building Finance Corporation’s Deputy General Manager Kafiluddin Chowdhury as has been recommended by the probe body.

The finance minister, however, said the SEC should not be blamed alone. Many other regulatory bodies also failed to perform their duties, which brought about the unexpected bubble and eventual bust that rendered hundreds of marginalised traders penniless, he said.

In accordance with the summary report, the government will not file cases against those who have been accused in the probe report on assumption of their involvement in the process of the share scam, he said.

The government also does not want that the accused to escape through legal loopholes. It will further investigate the omnibus accounts, book building method, pre-IPO placement of 50 over-valued companies and suspected transactions by top market players.

Muhith did not mention the names of the other regulatory bodies, but experts have already pointed finger to Bangladesh Bank.

The incumbent SEC chairman Khandaker Ziaul Hasan was appointed in early 2009. The two SEC members are Muhammad Yasin Ali and Anisuzzaman.

The probe report put forward a summary of 36-point recommendations and the Banking Division of the finance ministry added 11 more recommendations from the text of the same report.

The country’s elderly and female savers and hundreds of thousands of unemployed young men were lured into the overheated market as the general index of Dhaka Stock Exchange reached highest ever 8,918.51 point on 5 December 2010 from 4,568.40 on 3 January 2010.

But in the next one month, the DSE index nosedived and lost almost 3,000 points.

The finance minister announced that there will be a three-tier action plan—short, medium and long-term—having time-bound implementation programme.

Under the short-term plan, a task force will be formed to implement the recommendations.

Under the mid-term plan, demutualisation of the two stock exchanges will be implemented in three phases beginning early next fiscal year.

In the long-term plan, the government will form a body to coordinate Bangladesh Bank, the SEC, and Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges.
