Dhaka, Aug 10 (V7N)– Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur has cautioned against expecting a surge in investments while the country’s political stability remains unsettled. Speaking at a seminar titled “365 Days of the Interim Government” organized by the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) in the capital on Sunday morning, Dr. Mansur stressed that the current climate is not yet conducive for large-scale investment initiatives.

The central bank chief expressed optimism that inflation could fall below 5 percent by the end of the year. He also announced that a new notification on digital banks will be issued within this month, enabling interested institutions to submit applications.

Speakers at the seminar noted that inflation remains high, urging the government to launch targeted relief programs for low-income families. CPD researchers reiterated the public’s high expectations from the interim government, highlighting unmet promises such as the introduction of universal health insurance.

In light of the new U.S. tariff policy, they also called for greater diversification of export products to safeguard Bangladesh’s economic resilience.
