Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday called upon the small investors not to get tempted by others while investing in the capital market but take their own decisions after knowing everything about a company.

‘You’ve to take steps after having a clear idea about everything, don’t take any decision after getting influenced by anyone,’ she said, reports the UNB.

The Prime Minister said this while speaking at a programme marking celebrations of the Silver Jubilee of Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC).

She also urged the small investors not to get driven by profit lure. ‘You’ve to take your steps with a sense of proportion....no one will be affected if one is guided by this sense.’

Sheikh Hasina said whenever investors get affected with their own decisions, they blame the government though the government has little to do with it.
