Bangladesh Bank has directed all scheduled banks to adopt energy-saving measures in response to the ongoing geopolitical situation affecting global energy supplies. In a circular issued on Wednesday, the central bank instructed that air conditioners in bank offices must not be set below 25 degrees Celsius. It also urged bank officials to use public transport instead of personal vehicles and to consider ride-sharing where possible.
The directive emphasized the need for prudent use of electricity and fuel across bank headquarters, branches, and offices. It called for turning off unnecessary lights, fans, and electrical equipment, and for limiting non-essential travel to reduce fuel consumption. The circular further required compliance with existing schedules and restrictions on building illumination and digital display boards, discouraging excessive lighting.
Bangladesh Bank’s instructions aim to ensure efficient energy use across the banking sector as part of a broader national effort to manage fuel and electricity consumption during disruptions in international energy supply chains.
