DHAKA, June 17, 2026 (BSS) - The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) PLC has awarded Financial Information Exchange (FIX) certification to three more brokerage

The certificates were handed over at a ceremony held at the DSE premises today by Md. Abid Hossain Khan, FCA, chief financial officer of the DSE.

their own trading systems through API connectivity with the Nasdaq matching engine.
