Islami Bank customers' concerns have eased significantly following the cancellation of Khurshid Alam's appointment as chairman.
As confidence in the bank begins to recover, pressure from cash withdrawals has declined, while many customers have resumed accounts that were previously closed or transferred elsewhere.
According to the bank sources, 552 accounts were reactivated on Tuesday and another 1,442 on Wednesday. In total, nearly 2,000 customers resumed banking transactions with Islami Bank over the two-day period.
The resumed accounts brought back deposits exceeding Tk 150 crore. Although data for Thursday, the last working day of the week, was not immediately available, sources said the bank's overall condition remained stable and positive throughout the day.
Bangladesh Bank provided an additional Tk 1,000 crore in support to the bank on Wednesday, maintaining normal liquidity conditions. Earlier, the central bank had extended Tk 2,670 crore on Sunday, Tk 2,500 crore on Monday, and Tk 1,500 crore on Tuesday.
