On 19 September, in a significant move as part of banking sector reforms, the government ordered six state-owned commercial banks - Sonali, Janata, Agrani, Rupali, Bangladesh Development Bank and Basic Bank - to cancel the remaining terms of the contracts with their managing directors and chief executive officers. Since then the MD and CEO posts of these banks have remained vacant.
