[ALOCHONA] Can we have a viable Stock Exchange?

Following is a news item from a Business Only Newspaper of Pakistan like American Wall Street Journal. Can we have a viable Stock Exchange in Bangladesh to attract Foreign Investors to our Companies?
 
Pakistan has benefitted from Foreign Investors a lot and since US backing of Pakistan started in 2004 Pak Stock Market has been the top Stock Market of the world rising 900% mostly on Foreign Investments. Can the Govt do something about this or try to learn something from Pakistan?
 
Can we do some stuff ourselves instead of waiting for Allah to do it and hoping to be in JannuT in our after-life?
 
Thousands of Bangladeshis abroad would love to invest in Bangladesh Stock Exchange if some trust factor was created in their minds.
