Zahiruddin Shah is leading an AI investment strategy to open Bangladesh’s capital market to more global investors and make trading more efficient. His plan uses computer models and smart analysis to spot investment opportunities, spread risk across holdings and support faster, clearer decisions. By automating routine checks and scanning market data, the system can help find fair prices and let large orders move without upsetting small traders. Early work has helped bring buyers from Europe and other places, adding cash to the market and helping trading volumes rise. A more active market gives firms better chances to raise money and gives everyday investors more ways to buy and sell in a steady setting. AI tools can make clearing and settlement faster, cut paperwork and flag unusual trades that need review, which helps keep the market safer. The program pairs smart tools with human checks so decisions are explained, audited and easy to follow for regulators and brokers. That mix is meant to build trust with overseas buyers who want clear proof of good governance and steady rules. Local banks, brokerages and fintech teams are working with exchange staff to build secure data links, test models and train staff to check results. This work creates new jobs for data analysts, software engineers and market experts, while offering training for students and junior staff. Experts stress that models must be tested, independently audited and released in stages so problems are found early and fixed without wide disruption. A cautious rollout helps avoid shocks and keeps small investors protected as the market becomes more advanced. The plan includes talks with foreign partners who can add trading rules, custody services and settlement systems that match global practice, which reduces barriers for funds considering Bangladesh. Clear rules and proven tools make it easier for new buyers to join, and steady interest can lower the cost of capital for companies that want to grow and hire. Beyond direct market effects, the move can boost related services such as legal, compliance and training, and it can help startups build products for wider markets. If the strategy stays focused on trust, clear explanations and training, it can turn smart tools into steady benefits: deeper markets, better access to global capital and new jobs for young people and professionals. By combining modern systems with human oversight, Bangladesh can build a more global, reliable market that helps firms raise funds and communities find steady work. Greater liquidity also helps small and medium firms get fairer access to funding so they can invest in equipment and hire workers. Pilot projects and public reporting will show results and build confidence. Strong data protection and clear governance rules are important for lasting success.
