Will there be a rise in the capital market in 2021?

 The farewell year was completely different for the people of the world. Millions of people have lost their livelihoods due to a virus called corona. Again, many have to live with government incentives from home. However, the world capital market has surprised. Although there was a major landslide in March, the sector was quite good throughout the year.

Will there be a rise in the capital market in 2021?


 That position of the big indicators

 The most troubled country in Corona so far is the United States. However, the biggest beneficiaries were US capital market investors. At the end of the year, the share price of the technology sector has increased significantly. The Nasdaq index rose 42 percent. On the other hand, S&P 500 has increased by 15 percent.

 However, the fate of the capital market in the United Kingdom, which is plagued by the Corona, is similar to that of the United States. Shares of oil companies, banks and airlines fell sharply, sending the FTSE 100 index down 14 percent. However, at the end of the year, the capital market was somewhat stable. The post-Brexit trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, which was originally enacted into law with the approval of the British Parliament, has had an impact on the stock market.

 On the other hand, the Japanese capital market turned around due to vaccination. This capital market was quite good in the massive rise in the share price of pharmaceuticals companies. In addition, the central bank has made new money investors optimistic. The Indian capital market was also strong.

 In the new year, the world stock market may be like that

 The new year is not without its fears. The virus called corona is still hitting the world. In the meantime, investors feel there is some room for optimism. Analysts believe that there will be a positive trend in this financial market. One of the reasons is the vaccine. Hopefully, it will be possible to prevent corona due to the vaccine throughout the year. It is difficult to quantify the risk of high expectations, as the psychological upward trend is revealing. For example, the technology-based US Nasdaq index has risen the most this year. The companies listed in this index are Google's Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. So the share price of these companies will continue to rise.

 In a report by Forbes, capital market analyst John Jennings said: It will be upward and downward. John thinks such indefinite predictions are unsatisfactory, but it is almost precise. More specific comments can mislead investors.

 In an interview with CNBC, US capital market analyst Jean Munster said investors need to pay close attention to individual technology companies to find out what the capital market was like in 2020. Shares of both Apple and Amazon rose nearly 60 percent, Netflix rose 60 percent, while Facebook and Alphabet rose 30 percent.

 Munster thinks that in 2020, advertising-based technologies did not gain much. Such as Google and Facebook. According to Munster, Apple can do the best in 2021. Prices could rise by 51 percent. And as a result, Apple could become a 3 trillion company.

Two city corporations got the responsibility of canals and drains of Dhaka

Responsibility for waterlogging in Dhaka city (canals and drainage) has been officially handed over from Dhaka WASA to two city corporations. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Dhaka WASA and the two city corporations on Thursday morning. As a result, from now on, the two city corporations got the full responsibility of eliminating waterlogging in Dhaka. Earlier, Dhaka WASA used to fulfill the lion's share of this responsibility.

  The MoU signing ceremony was held at a five-star hotel in the capital.

 Speaking on the occasion, Dhaka WASA Managing Director (MD) Taksim A Khan said that in 2012, Dhaka WASA had written a letter stating that the responsibility of drainage management (canal and canal maintenance and development) should be vested in the City Corporation. The initiative gained momentum after Tajul Islam took charge as the local government minister. This led to today's MoU signing ceremony. He hoped that this would speed up the drainage of rains and floods in Dhaka city.

As a result, from now on, the two city corporations got the full responsibility of eliminating waterlogging in Dhaka. Earlier, Dhaka WASA used to fulfill the lion's share of this responsibility.

  The MoU signing ceremony was held at a five-star hotel in the capital.


 Speaking on the occasion, Dhaka WASA Managing Director (MD) Taksim A Khan said that in 2012, Dhaka WASA had written a letter stating that the responsibility of drainage management (canal and canal maintenance and development) should be vested in the City Corporation. The initiative gained momentum after Tajul Islam took charge as the local government minister. This led to today's MoU signing ceremony. He hoped that this would speed up the drainage of rains and floods in Dhaka city.


 Atiqul Islam, Mayor of Dhaka North City Corporation, stressed on the need to demarcate the canal boundaries of Dhaka city as per the city survey. He also called for the removal of illegal structures on both sides of the canal, re-excavation to increase water holding capacity, greening of embankments, walkways and bicycle lanes. Atiqul Islam said, ‘We have seen in different places that the canal has been connected to the pylon. Safety tank connections need to be closed. The mayor of DNCC said that the road being built along the Balu river in the eastern part of Dhaka must be 'elevated'. "Khal, who are you?" The mayor said, quoting his own quote. From today the canal is going to become a city corporation. Atiqul Islam expressed his determination to bring back the speed of water in these canals by cleaning them.


 Sheikh Fazle Nur Taposh, Mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), announced the transfer of responsibility for drainage management as a historic day. If water accumulates in Dhaka city, questions will arise from tomorrow, but DSCC is ready in this regard. He said the work of cleaning three canals and two box culverts (Panthapath and Segunbagicha) including Jirani and Manda in Dhaka will start from next day (Saturday). This work will be done in the next three months. Kalunagar canal has been partially cleaned. After that work will be done on Dholai canal and Buriganga Adi channel. DSCC will do the work with its own funds. Besides, a project worth around Tk 900 crore for canal and canal development will be sent to ECNEC for approval, the DSCC mayor said. Fazle Nur Taposh declared to build Dhaka city as an aesthetic city by rescuing and cleaning the canals of Dhaka city.

 Speaking as the chief guest, Local Government Minister Tajul Islam said the Prime Minister was fulfilling Bangabandhu's dream of developing the whole of Bangladesh. "We want to transform Dhaka into a beautiful, livable, healthy city," he said. If we want to fix Dhaka city, we have to fulfill our responsibilities properly. I will do what I will do, and I will not do what I will do. '


 Regarding drainage management in Dhaka, the local government minister said it was in the hands of the Department of Public Health Engineering in 1983. After that the municipality used to perform this duty. In 1986, it was handed over to Dhaka WASA. Although the work is the work of a representative organization. Regarding the handover, he said, there has been a lot of discussion and review in this regard. They were then evaluated by forming a technical committee. The committee's drainage management has proposed the transfer of two city corporations from Dhaka WASA. A memorandum of understanding is being signed today for the transfer subject to the approval of the Prime Minister. According to him, the manpower and resources of Dhaka WASA related to drainage will go to the two city corporations.


 Helaluddin Ahmed, Senior Secretary, Local Government Department presided over the function. "Today (the signing of the agreement) is the result of a long and dedicated effort," he said. A memorandum of understanding is being signed subject to the efforts of the minister, the interest of the two mayors and the approval of the prime minister. Announcing all possible cooperation from the ministry to alleviate waterlogging in Dhaka, the government official said, "Hopefully, there will be no waterlogging in the coming monsoon."

 Taksim A Khan, Managing Director of WASA on behalf of Dhaka WASA, ABM Amin Ullah Nuri, Chief Executive Officer on behalf of DSCC and Md. Selim Reza signed. Senior officials of the three companies were present at the time.


 Incidentally, in the last few years, if there is a little heavy rain in Dhaka, waterlogging occurs. While Dhaka WASA has the main responsibility to resolve this, the City Corporation also plays an important role. Bangladesh Water Development Board, Capital Development Authority, Cantonment Board and private housing companies are also involved in this.


 It is learned that Dhaka WASA maintains and operates 26 canals (about 60 km) and about 365 km large drains and four pump stations in Dhaka city as part of waterlogging. The two city corporations take care of about 2,211 km of canals. From today, all the canals and canals in charge of WASA went to the two city corporations.
