Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H Mansur urged calm amidst the liquidity crisis affecting several banks, assuring depositors that the situation would improve. Over Tk 200,000 crore is needed to rescue these troubled institutions, but Mansur stressed that printing money would destabilize the economy. Instead, the central bank will guarantee liquidity support through inter-bank loans. Recent governance changes, including reconstituting bank boards, aim to restore confidence. Mansur warned that major loan defaulters would face asset seizures, and efforts are underway to recover laundered money. He also highlighted plans for audits, mergers, and task forces to stabilize the sector within a year.
