Bangladesh Bank has appointed an observer to Islami Bank in response to ongoing instability within the institution. The central bank announced that Executive Director Mohammad Ashraful Alam will serve as the observer under the authority of the Bank Company Act, 1991. His role will include attending board meetings, monitoring operations, and reporting findings to Bangladesh Bank to safeguard the bank’s and depositors’ interests.
The central bank stated that the move aims to strengthen governance, transparency, and accountability in the banking sector. Recent internal disputes over the appointment of a new chairman and board have triggered protests among some customers, leading to widespread concern and deposit withdrawals.
Between June 1 and 7, depositors withdrew approximately Tk 4,240 crore from Islami Bank, causing it to fall short of its required cash reserve ratio. The bank has since sought Tk 10,000 crore in loans from Bangladesh Bank to stabilize liquidity.
