Major reshuffle in BB: Governor's office director among 4 transferred

Bangladesh Bank (BB) authority has transferred four directors and one additional director in a significant administrative reshuffle, with orders issued on Wednesday taking immediate effect.

According to the transfer order, Director Md. Jobdul Islam has been moved from Human Resources Department-1 to the Financial Institutions Inspection Department, while Director Md. Shahid Reza will take the reverse route, transferring from the Financial Institutions Inspection Department to Human Resources Department-1.

Director Md. Bayezid Sarkar has been reassigned from Banking Regulation and Policy Department-1 to the Motijheel Office, where he will serve as Acting Executive Director for Currency. Director Gazi Md. Mahfuzul Islam will move in the opposite direction, leaving the Motijheel Office to join Banking Regulation and Policy Department-1.

In a notable change, Additional Director Md. Kamrul Islam has been transferred out of the Governor's Office and reassigned to the Sadarghat Office.

The central bank directive stated that the transfers are effective immediately and instructed all concerned officers to complete handover procedures at their current posts before joining their new assignments.

The reshuffle comes on the same day the government appointed Mostakur Rahman as the new Bangladesh Bank Governor, replacing Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur in what Finance Minister Aamir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury described as a "normal process" following the change of government.
