At a parliamentary committee meeting on 27 July 2026 at the Parliament Building, NCP lawmaker and committee member Hasnat Abdullah proposed announcing monetary policy every three months instead of the current six-month interval. The parliamentary committee on the Finance Ministry discussed the proposal under chair Mushfiqur Rahman. Bangladesh Bank described the suggestion positively and said it could be adopted.

The meeting reviewed Bangladesh Bank’s monetary policy framework and discussed a gradual move from the current interest rate-based policy toward inflation-targeting monetary policy to achieve long-term economic goals. The central bank presented its existing framework, implementation and future priorities, after which committee members exchanged views on monetary policy and the future of the financial sector.

Bangladesh Bank Governor Mostakur Rahman called the quarterly policy proposal good advice and said he believed it should be taken. Jamaat lawmaker Saiful Alam also raised problems at Islami Bank and urged Bangladesh Bank to demonstrate a zero-tolerance policy. He said Tk 2,400 crore had been withdrawn from the bank in one month. The governor said Islamic banking was being expanded and that work was under way to strengthen Shariah boards.
