Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur has firmly denied rumors about his resignation or taking leave. Speaking at an emergency press conference at Bangladesh Bank on Thursday, January 29, 2026, he stated that he neither applied for leave nor had any intention to do so. Mansur emphasized that his work schedule keeps him busy until late at night, leaving no scope for taking leave.

During the briefing, Mansur alleged that a certain group, driven by jealousy, was spreading misinformation and inciting unrest by distributing money related to Sammilita Islami Bank. He claimed that this group was deliberately running a campaign against the newly established Islamic bank. Mansur reiterated his belief in democratic practices and the right to protest but said the bank’s performance would prove its commitment to customer satisfaction.

The governor’s remarks directly addressed circulating rumors and sought to reassure the public and banking sector stakeholders about the stability of Bangladesh Bank’s leadership.
