Since taking the helm of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) in 2020, Prof Shibli Rubayat-Ul-Islam has been busy modernizing Bangladesh's burgeoning capital markets.

Even though Bangladeshi capital markets are still maturing, Prof Shibli aims to leapfrog to create "one of the best digital capital markets in the world."
