Mirza Yasir Abbas, son of BNP Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas, has decided to gift approximately 31.3 million shares of Dhaka Bank PLC, valued at around 360 million Taka, to his mother Afroza Abbas. The shares will be transferred outside the stock exchange trading system as a gift. Afroza Abbas, a founder of Dhaka Bank but not a current board member, will now hold around three percent of the bank’s shares, exceeding the regulatory two percent requirement for a director set by the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC). This strategic gift will make her eligible to join the bank’s board in the future. Sources indicate that the primary purpose of the gift is to facilitate her appointment as a director, strengthening her formal involvement in the bank’s management.
