New governor of Bangladesh Bank Fazle Kabir joined office on Sunday morning.
The new governor said: “My first work will be to take initiatives to bring back the $81 million which were stolen from the account of Bangladesh Bank.
“We will have to find out if there is any technical problem in our system and fix it so that such incidents are not repeated.”
Fazle Kabir was serving Sonali Bank as chairman. Later, he resigned from the post after being appointed as the governor.
Atiur Rahman on March 15 resigned from his post as the governor in the wake of the recent hacking of Bangladesh Bank's reserve fund.
On February 4, hackers stole more than $80 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and wired it to bank accounts in the Philippines.
On February 29, the Philippine Daily Inquirer broke the story of a possible $100m digital bank robbery of BB fund.
