CPD Working Paper 22
Financial Sector Reforms in Bangladesh
The Next Round
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, this paper attempts to take stock of the earlier initiatives of financial sector reform, analyses the thrust of the policy approach, and indicates some immediate measures required with a view to meet the increasing demand for financial sector reform. The paper attempts to highlight some of the ongoing policy debates to seek guidance for the future.
