Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H. Mansur said on Wednesday that recent protests and unrest among some central bank officials were being fueled by a vested group seeking to undermine government policy decisions. Speaking at an emergency press conference at the bank’s headquarters, he stated that the recent administrative actions, including staff transfers and show-cause notices, were aimed at preserving institutional and financial stability, not serving personal interests.
Mansur explained that the government and the central bank jointly provided Tk 32,000 crore in support to stabilize seven banks, protecting around 7.6 million depositors. He said the measures, including equity support and special funds for exporters, were restoring stability in the sector. The governor defended the temporary transfers of some officials following social media misinformation and said further actions would depend on their responses.
He dismissed calls to cancel contractual appointments, noting such practices existed before. Mansur added that the bank’s CSR fund of Tk 450–500 crore was being distributed to educational and medical institutions and that the central bank earned Tk 24,000 crore in profit last fiscal year.
