Bangladesh has already emerged as a success story of inclusive growth with a human face, former governor of Bangladesh Bank Dr Atiur Rahman has said.
A farsighted financial inclusion strategy of its central bank played a crucial role in achieving this outcome, he said at a workshop on ‘Financial Inclusion for Human Development’ at the Human Development Report Office of the UN in New York on Thursday.
This was possible because of the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the support of her government, he added.
“There are many useful lessons for the world to learn and replicate from the Bangladesh experiences,” said Dr Rahman.
The workshop was chaired by Director of Human Development Report Office Dr. Selim Jahan and attended by officials from HDRO, UNDESA, UNDP Bureau for Policy Programme and Support (BPPS), UNDP Bureau for Latin American and the Caribbean (RBLAC) and UNDP Crisis Prevention Bureau, says a statement.
