Like a patient in the ICU facing multiple organ failures, the banking system may soon be on life support if it isn’t already. Bangladesh’s economic challenges must be clearly articulated with measurable data, and the solutions must be executed with precision and realistic planning. Conflicting priorities—such as stabilising the banking system while managing rampant real inflation and dwindling reserves—make the situation even more complex. A key realisation is that without substantial and necessary capital injection, the problems in the banking system cannot be resolved. Once the constraints, trade-offs, and limitations are accepted, the decision-making process becomes clearer, allowing for more informed choices and consequences about the difficult path ahead.
