Abstract

During the run-up to the last national elections, CPD launched a Task Force on Financial Sector Reform which prepared a set of recommendations for consideration by the newly elected government. The new incumbent government, after assuming the responsibility, has undertaken a number of measures for improving the performance of the financial sector. In this context, the present paper attempts to take stock of the earlier initiatives of financial sector reform, analyse the thrust of the present policy approach and indicate some immediate measures with a view to meet the increasing demand for financial sector reform. The present paper is not a comprehensive review of the state of banking sector in Bangladesh. Rather, it seeks to highlight some of the ongoing policy debates to seek guidance for the future.
