Cenbank appoints 2 new deputy governors

The Bangladesh Bank has appointed its executive directors Md Zakir Hossain Chowdhury and Md Kabir Ahmed as deputy governors.

A notification issued by the finance ministry's Financial Institutions Division confirmed the appointments today (8 September).

According to the notification, they had been appointed on a contractual basis for three years from the date of joining.

After the mass uprising on 5 August, two deputy governors of the central bank, Kazi Saidur Rahman and Khurshid Alam, stepped down.

In response, the government formed a search committee on 12 August, led by former comptroller and auditor general Mohammad Muslim Chowdhury, to fill the vacant positions.
