The study was confined in CSE & Internet Primary & secondary data were not available in the organization form Short Time: I had to conduct the whole survey alone in this very short time, which also hindered my study. There was shortage of adequate literature in the CSE Low facility of the Internet and personal computer.

Lacks of enough previous experience also limit my performance in conducting the study.

Market capitalization is an indicator of economic development. It includes 204 equity securities, 4 corporate bond, 37 mutual funds, and issue of performance shares which has not yet been sponsored by any company. The higher the amount of market capitalization, The better performance of stock exchange.

Market capitalization ratio equals the value of listed shares divided by GDP. In terms of economic significance, the assumption behind market capitalization is that market size is positively correlated with the ability to mobilize capital and diversify risk on an economy wide basis (Agarwal 2001). La Porter et al. (1997, 1998) used the market capitalization to GDP ratio as an indicator of market development. Above table shows the size of Bangladesh stock market.

5.1 Share Pricing

Share is nothing but dividing the total capital in small units. Share price is determined two times: 1. At the time of initial public offering 2. In the secondary market.

1. At the time of initial public offering Share pricing during the IPOs are 3 categories: a. At per b. At premium c. At discount.

A. At per: Normally share is issued at per basis. Here face value and issue price both are same. Face value of a share depends on the no of shares. B. At premium: If share is issued above face value. C. At discount: If share is issued below the face value

Continuous Trading Index: Calculated considering the trade price of scripts and it changed with respect of the share price changed. Close index: Calculated the basis of close price of the shares. It is treated as the open index for the next day.

5.2 Trading Procedure & Types of Trading System

There are three types of trading system. These are: 1. Cry out System 2. Automated Trading System 3. Internet Trading System

Cry Out System:

34 Role of Chittagong Stock Exchange for the economic development of Bangladesh

Before starting on line trading at the Chittagong Stock Exchange trading were conducted through Cry out system. Under this system members and there authorized assistant of the Stock Exchange who have license to trade from the Securities and Exchange Commission would come to the Stock Exchange Floor and participate in trading. But there were a number of shortcomings of this trading system.

Automated Trading System: To fulfill the need of Chittagong Stock Exchange a vector (Standard product of CMC Ltd.) was customized. The program is window based and user friendly. The system has three modules(1) Brokers Workstation (BWS) (2) Market Operation (MOP) (3) Surveillance. The brokers workstation module is available from each brokers office. This module provides the facility to view the market scenario and input order. This department handles the market operation is exclusively for the trading department of the Exchanges issues like disclosure and circuit breaker. The surveillance department of the exchange will use the third module. This module facilitates on-line surveillance adding new dimensions to the issue of overseeing the market in this country.

5.3 Internet Trading System

Internet Trading System or ITS is CSEs venture on behalf of the brokers. This site has been provided by the Chittagong Stock Exchange so as to give customers the convenience to trade or put orders on CSE from anywhere in the world irrespective of the trading hours of the stock exchange. The trading is done by registering on the site under some existing broker of the stock exchange.

5.4 EVALUATION OF CSE

Evaluation of nay organization needs more concentrated effort. Here a brief subjective evaluation of CSE is done in the form of SWOT:
35 Role of Chittagong Stock Exchange for the economic development of Bangladesh

 Strength: The nationwide connectivity and recently the worldwide connectivity through the Internet is the superiority over the other stock exchange of Bangladesh. Efficient management and effective Corporate Governance gives CSE an edge over the competitor. Weakness: CSEs operation is less effective due to the lack of professional attitude of the members, lack of Dhaka based member, non-availability of the dual listing facilities, small number of active members, regional image problem, etc. Opportunity: With the growth of Internet users and governments interest in the capital market ushers new opportunity for CSE. As a member of SAFE, CSE will get the opportunity to trade regional (Sough Asian) shares in future. Threat: New regulations of the different regulatory bodies (e.g. Government, SEC, Bangladesh Bank, etc.) change the trade volume in the exchange. Besides connectivity to the Internet also increased the security concern of the network.

Problems and Recommendation for Economy development

On the basis of this tour I found some problems and they are shown below with recommendation: Some companies offering shares are lower because of some firms do not eventually list for trading through they nominally complete their offering. Here the companies date are not searched in an "Advanced Data Search" in prime to secure data on the following basic issue and issuer characteristics after filtering for 1PO's. Financial information for each offering is not available from "public pricing parameters". Other firms list at varying periods of time after the offer, typically about a month after the offer date. This lack is zero in the most recent period. The offer date is the date on which the offer opens for bidding. "There should be allowed offer proceeds equal the issue size and the issue price. Among the control variables, firm age is negatively related to under - pricing, so older firms are less under - priced. High IPO activity may follow high under pricing because underwriters encourage more firms to go public when public valuations turn out the higher than expected and because underwriters discourage firms from filing or Proceeding with an offering when Public valuations turn out to be than expected. One interpretation of the result is that older firms are easier to value and can be sold at lower levels of under - pricing the other controls firm size and a technology dummy are not significant. For each offering, company obtain data the face value of equity, earnings per share, price -earning ratio, industry average price-earning ratio and weighted average return on net worth prior to the issue and net asset value post issue.

7.1 Policy implication for Eonomic develoment

In view of the foregoing analysis of findings of the study, the following suggestions have been put forwarded for consideration of Government, policy makers, SEC, Stock exchanges and other concerned parties in order to develop the performance of stock market, especially of CSE: a) SEC Along with stock exchanges should make a provision to compel every member of stock exchanges either to tread or to give-up membership of exchanges. Besides, regulation is warranted for checking the fraudulent activities of stock exchange. b) Government should promulgate macro-economic policy such as fixation of interest on treasury securities considering the interest of stock market of the country. Besides, it should come out with policy for bringing profitable SOEs and MNCs into the net of stock market. c) SEC in Corporation with CSE and DSE should establish a training institute for research and development of human resources in the different level of security industry. This will help improve the awareness of investors. d) SEC Should comes out with full-field get guideline for introducing carport governance to listed companies. This may improve not only financial disclosure practice; but also stock market operation of the country. e) Listed companies should disclose financial information through different vehicles such as newspaper, websites, report from etc. this will give investors easy accessibility to the information.

7.2 Conclusion
CSE has been found to play a pioneering role in boosting the confidence of all participates including investors. It has implemented different revolutionary programs for developing a congenial regulatory and administrative environment in its operations. Of course, it has exerted influence in the entire stock market of the country. The study has identified different impediment of development of stock market; and also suggested some policy measures for improvement of the operational efficiency of CSE. The suggestions are expected to develop the stock market of the country as well. The analysis of the three measures of CSE development indicators reveals that CSE shows a smooth and steady growth over the decade under study but low market capitalization as a percentage of GDP is reflecting shallowness as well as the lack of depth of the market. This sort of market is always subject to manipulation.
