Money launderers will not sleep peacefully: BB new governor

Curbing inflation to get top priority: BB new governor

Dr Ahsan H Mansur, the new governor of the Bangladesh Bank (BB), today said the key priority of the central bank will be to control inflation.
"High inflation and the foreign exchange reserve crisis are the two headline challenges for the economy. Bangladesh Bank central responsibility is to control inflation," he said at a media briefing on the first day in his office at BB headquarters in the city.
He said they have to try to bring down the inflation rate as well as increase the level of foreign exchange reserves.
The twin crises will not go away fully within a year but the highest effort will be initiated to normalise the situation as soon as possible, he added.
