Bangladesh Bank and several commercial banks have launched campaigns supporting a 'Yes' vote in the upcoming referendum tied to the July Charter implementation, scheduled on the national election day. On Wednesday, banners promoting the referendum were displayed in front of the central bank’s headquarters, urging citizens to vote 'Yes' for change. Similar banners were also seen at the main offices and branches of state-owned banks such as Sonali, Janata, Agrani, and Rupali, as well as private banks.

The campaign follows a meeting held last Sunday between the Bangladesh Bank governor and managing directors of various banks, where instructions were given to display two banners at each branch promoting the referendum. The meeting also discussed using corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds to finance the campaign. The initiative was undertaken last week under directives from the Chief Adviser’s Office to raise public awareness about the referendum.

The promotional materials highlight themes of political cooperation, constitutional restraint, and citizen empowerment, emphasizing that the 'Yes' vote represents the key to national change.
