File PhotoDHAKA, Jan 04, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh Bank (BB) has launched a new Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) framework to restore confidence among depositors after years of sectoral stress. The central bank today moved away from a traditional, compliance-driven oversight model to a system that prioritises supervision based on the specific risk profiles of individual institutions. Through the RBS regime, the central bank will abandon a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model of supervision. Thirteen existing departments have been reorganised into 17 specialised units, including 12 bank supervision departments that will provide targeted oversight based on real-time data. Five additional specialised units have been created to focus on digital banking, data analytics, payment systems and policy formulation.
