Salehuddin stresses visible steps to restore 'good governance' in banking sector

Former central bank Governor Dr Salehuddin Ahmed has urged the concerned authorities to make public all the initiatives and operations undertaken in the banking and financial sector of the country.

He also opined that in order to restore 'good governance' in the banking sector, there is a need to take proper decisions and thus implement those visibly in a speedy manner.

Planning Minister MA Mannan, and former caretaker government adviser Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman also addressed the event.

Speaking on the occasion, the planning minister expressed his hope that Bangladesh would be able to tackle the situation arising from the current global economic condition without incurring any big loss.

"The global economic shock has also affected Bangladesh while bigger economies have also fallen into crisis. Being a comparatively smaller economy, Bangladesh has been trying to keep its momentum braving the adverse global condition. Hopefully, we'll be able to tackle the situation without any big loss," he said.

Hossain Zillur Rahman said that the 'Banking Almanac' has been playing an important role in eliminating the confusion regarding data and information of various banks and financial institutions.
