Abstract

The relationship between stock market returns and inflation is a well studied area in economics and financial economics. Theoretical and empirical researches on this topic establish that inflation causes stock market return. In this paper we study on Bangladesh stock markets return and inflation and find interesting results that stock market returns cause inflation. This empirical study has been conducted on basis of the monthly stock market index and CPI data. The result of the study can be a roadmap to the policymaker of Bangladesh to control the inflation within the tolerance level by adopting well regulation on stock market.
