Dhaka, April 13 -- Bangladesh's stock market saw a sharp decline in March 2026, with the benchmark DSEX index falling 7.53% to 5,178.31, down from 5,600.27 in February.

The drop, equivalent to about 422 points, came amid a broad global sell-off, as all major equity indices tracked in the DSE Monthly Market Review recorded monthly losses.

While Bangladesh was among the harder-hit markets, steeper declines were observed in Indonesia (-14.42%), Pakistan (-11.50%), and India (-11.49%).

March proved a punishing month for global equities, with no market spared. In the Asia-Pacific region, Indonesia's Jakarta Composite plunged 14.42% to 7,048.22 from 8,235.49 in February.
