Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H. Mansur stated that bank owners alone cannot be blamed for institutional collapse, emphasizing that officials also share responsibility. Speaking at an Economic Reporters Forum discussion in Dhaka, he outlined ongoing reforms, including plans to merge five banks to strengthen the sector. Mansur assured depositors that their funds remain safe under deposit insurance coverage and projected foreign reserves to reach $34–35 billion by fiscal year-end without borrowing from international lenders.
The governor acknowledged persistent challenges such as capital shortfalls and a non-performing loan (NPL) rate now estimated at 36%. He pledged transparency in disclosing accurate financial data. Mutual Trust Bank’s CEO Syed Mahbubur Rahman noted that commercial banks had been forced into long-term investments due to a weak capital market, while CPD’s Executive Director Fahmida Khatun warned that political interference and poor governance had eroded the sector’s integrity.
Experts urged continued implementation of the Bank Resolution Act and full autonomy for Bangladesh Bank to restore confidence and ensure sustainable recovery ahead of the upcoming national elections.
