The ICCB report described the banking system as the backbone of Bangladesh’s economic journey, responsible for mobilizing savings, financing trade, and generating employment. In a move described as the largest in Bangladesh’s financial history, the Bank Resolution Ordinance 2025 was recently enacted to handle distressed financial institutions. The ICCB report placed heavy emphasis on the necessity of a strong, professional, and independent Bangladesh Bank. Global experience suggests that an independent central bank is essential for handling financial pressures, maintaining economic confidence, and attracting investment. The ICCB called for strict action against willful defaulters, globally aligned compliance standards, and continuous regulatory capacity building.
