6 companies enter CSE Shariah index, 5 out
The revised CSE Shariah Index will include 126 listed companies
The Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) has included six companies in its Shariah Index (CSI) and dropped five from the list.
The changes will come into effect from 23 May.
As part of the CSE's half-yearly index review, Asiatic Laboratories, Baraka Power, Far Chemical, Legacy Footwear, Rahima Food Corporation, and United Power Generation & Distribution Company entered the list of Shariah-compliant securities.
On the other hand, five companies ACI Formulations, Beacon Pharmaceuticals, Saiham Cotton Mills, Square Pharmaceuticals, and Standard Ceramic Industries were excluded from the previous list.
The reviews are based on the companies' performance in terms of Shariah compliance that attracts Islamic institutional investors alongside religious Muslim individuals.
Islamic economics prohibits interest and promotes fair trade for transactions involving the production, sale, or consumption of goods and services that are permissible according to Islamic law
The revised CSE Shariah Index will include 126 out of the 382 listed companies being traded at the port city bourse.
