Bangladesh Bank on Thursday announced that it will take administrative action against officials involved in Wednesday’s ‘mob’ incident at its headquarters, according to the bank’s Human Resources (HR) policy.

Arief Hossain Khan, Executive Director and Spokesperson of Bangladesh Bank, made the disclosure during briefing reporters held at the central bank on Thursday.

Responding to a query from journalists, the spokesperson said the newly appointed Governor has pledged to establish good governance within the institution. "Action will be taken against those involved in 'mob culture' in accordance with the existing HR policy," Khan said.

Earlier in the day, the new Governor officially assumed his duties and immediately held a high-level meeting with senior officials.

Later, the press briefing was organised to share the outcomes of the meeting.

During the meeting, the Governor urged officials to actively cooperate in initiatives aimed at reopening closed factories.

He emphasised that the central bank would provide the necessary policy support to make the economy more growth-oriented and focused on employment generation.

The spokesperson further noted that the Governor’s primary focus would be restoring discipline and ensuring a stable environment for the country's financial sector.
