CASH MANAGEMENT IN PUBLICLY TRADED CEMENT COMPANIES IN BANGLADESH : AN APPRAISAL
Abstract
The study strives to provide an insight into the cash management practices of publicly traded Cement Companies in Bangladesh. It is evident from the study that none of the sample companies have any cash policy. The cash balance at any point of time is the result of chance rather than any planning. It is also evident that the domestic companies had liquidity problem during the whole period of review. But MNCs have surplus liquidity in most of the years under the study, which could have been invested in some profitable ventures instead of keeping idle. On the whole, the cash management of the publicly traded cement companies in Bangladesh was in a poor shape.
