The government would soon reshuffle the board of directors of state-owned commercial and specialised banks, Finance Minister AMA Muhith has said.
The finance minister said this on Saturday while responding to queries from journalists who gathered at his office to know about the resignation of BASIC Bank chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bachchu, reports BSS.
The minister did not specify whether all the eight state-owned banks would see new board of directors soon.
The state-owned commercial banks are Sonali Bank, Agrani Bank, Janata Bank and Rupali Bank and the specialised public banks include BASIC Bank, Bangladesh Development Bank, Bangladesh Krishi Bank and Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank.
The new government would reorganise the board of directors of the state-owned banks to streamline the activities of public banks and establish more discipline and transparency in the banking sector, Muhith said.
The minister, however, said it was hard to identify the proper persons for reorganising the board of directors of the banks.
