There are many factors within capital market and outside of it, which are influencing the performance and development for functioning properly a business domain.

To identify the determinants and their significance in capital market development, both descriptive and inferential statistics are used. Descriptive statistics shows the trends and characteristics of the variables, while inferential statistics reveals the strengths of independent variable to influence the dependent variable. In the findings, both institutional and macroeconomic variable significantly influence the capital market performance. Categorically, CPI and GDP as macroeconomic determinants and Total Market Capitalization as institutional determinant found significant based on their coefficient value in the ordinary least square multiple regression analysis. These findings may become a useful input to design policies and strategies for stabilizing and stimulating the capital market in Bangladesh, especially, Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
