A group of Bangladesh Bank officials staged a demonstration at the central bank premises on November 26, demanding the resignation of two deputy governors appointed during the last Awami League government. They met with the governor earlier in the day, vowing to continue protests until their demands are met. The officials alleged that the previous government, along with central bank insiders, facilitated the looting of banks, leading to the current financial crisis.
Following the fall of the Awami League administration on August 5, contractual appointments of two other deputy governors, the head of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), and a policy advisor were terminated due to protests. However, the two remaining deputy governors retained their posts, which the demonstrators deemed illogical. The protest reflects mounting discontent over alleged mismanagement and corruption within the central bank during the previous government’s tenure.
