INTRODUCTION

Consumers and small investors in Bangladesh often become the victim of the market reactions due to lack of an independent market watch-dog and lack of exact information on markets- the pulse of the market economy. Inadequate market information allows superficial news and generates rumors in the market that mislead innocent consumers & investors and force them to become exploited and bear untoward losses. Besides, lack of quality concerns among the consumers and small traders in absence of awareness campaign, and an effective platform, sub-standard products and services are flooding markets, causing health hazards and hindering the growth of potential enterprises.

Setting up an effective professional organisation to pursue market intervention and explore unlimited business opportunity through press media and motivational activities, therefore, are very urgent to help such investors and consumers to enhance private sector growth- the main engine of the country’s economic development in a global free trade era.

Realizing this fact, in late 1999, a group of financial journalists and media men, market researchers, academicians led by Mr. Faruk Ahmed, the then Senior Financial journalist of The Financial Express and a TV presenter came together with a vision to create an alternative dimension in media to help innocent consumers and investors to protect their interests and explore unlimited business possibilities for small investors and entrepreneurs- the main driven forces of the private sector growth. And finally they formed:

BID- (Bazaar Information & Development).

To make effective and positive market intervention, BID has two arms. It acts as a financial news agency for both print and electronics media and also as a research-based social organization to act as a market watch-dog for the interests of consumers and investors.

BID keeps a constant vigil on fast-changing markets to disclose all facts & figures of the market since its official inception in 2000 and connects market players through press, media and other motivational activities like seminars, meetings and training programmes with the financial supports of like-minded organizations and companies.

As a professional financial news agency, BID is dedicated to disseminate insight news on markets, products and services and other facts & figures, promote quality products and services particularly produced by quality SMEs- the driven forces of the private sector growth. And as a market watchdog, it connect market players, mobilizes consumers, traders, shop-owners, small investors and entrepreneurs by organizing meetings, seminars and other social activities.
