Abstract

This study explores the influence of capital market efficiency on Bangladesh’s economic growth, using time series data covering market capitalization, total market turnover, and stock price indices from 2011 to 2022. The application of a multiple regression model reveals that the Bangladesh capital market has the potential to contribute significantly to the country’s economic growth. This potential is attributed to the notable characteristics of high market capitalization and relatively robust market liquidity. Consequently, it is recommended that market organizations and regulations be structured to attract a substantial number of both domestic and foreign investors, encouraging substantial listings, investments, and trading. Such measures are crucial to achieving the central objective of optimally allocating economic resources for the sustained and resilient growth of the nation.
