DSE launches digital platform for easier document submission
Business Report :
The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) Wednesday launched the “Regulatory Submission Module and CSE Onboarding” as part of its Smart Submission System (SSS) at the DSE Tower in Dhaka, marking a major step in the digital transformation of Bangladesh’s capital market.
The SSS, developed using DSE’s own technology under the supervision of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), allows listed companies and stakeholders to submit documents online in real-time and securely, eliminating the need for hard copy submissions.
The inauguration was presided over by DSE Chairman Mominul Islam, with BSEC Commissioner Md. Saifuddin as the chief guest. Top officials, including managing directors, company secretaries, and CFOs of listed companies, attended the event.
“Starting immediately, price-sensitive information, financial statements, regulatory reports, and other required documents can be submitted fully online,” said Mohammad Asadur Rahman, DSE’s Acting Managing Director.
“This will increase efficiency, transparency, and reduce unnecessary visits and paperwork for issuers.”
The new module is the next phase of DSE’s digital journey, creating a single platform for submissions and reducing errors associated with manual or dual submissions. Md. Kaysar Hamid, Executive Committee Member of BAPLC, noted that the system ensures timely and transparent submissions and improves accountability.
Dr. Md. Asifur Rahman, DSE’s Chief Technology Officer, said the system was built using advanced technologies like Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and PowerBI, following the Agile Scrum methodology.
BSEC Commissioner Md. Saifuddin added that the platform aims to make market information more accessible, standardized, and reliable for regulators, auditors, and investors. The system was inspired by experiences at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, adapted and developed locally by DSE’s in-house team.
Looking ahead, the SSS is expected to support XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), enabling AI-readable and machine-readable financial data to improve market research, analysis, and data intelligence in Bangladesh.
Md. Sayed Kutub, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, highlighted that digital platforms like this are essential to increase transparency, restore investor confidence, and modernize the capital market.
