Bangladesh Bank has introduced stricter experience requirements for appointing managing directors (MDs) and chief executive officers (CEOs) in the country’s commercial banks. According to a circular issued by the central bank’s Banking Regulation and Policy Department on November 26, candidates must now have at least three years of combined or individual experience as Additional Managing Director (AMD) and Deputy Managing Director (DMD) to qualify for the MD position. Previously, only two years of experience in any senior management role was sufficient. The new directive clarifies earlier ambiguities and aims to raise leadership standards in the banking sector. Additionally, the circular allows senior officials from regulatory bodies in the banking and financial sectors, with at least 25 years of experience and service in Grade-2 of the national pay scale, to be directly appointed as MDs. This change opens the door for experienced regulators to assume top executive roles in commercial banks, potentially enhancing governance and professional expertise across the sector.
