Posted: October 23, 2024

ব্যাংক খাতে জঞ্জাল তৈরি হয়েছে, চার ধরনের সমস্যা দূর করতে হবে – ফাহমিদা খাতুন

ব্যাংকিং খাত অর্থনীতির প্রাণ। দেশের আর্থিক খাত খুব একটা বড় নয়, পুঁজিবাজার দুর্বল, ব্যাংকবহির্ভূত আর্থিক খাতও শক্তিশালী নয়; সে কারণে অর্থের ৯০ শতাংশই ব্যাংক খাত থেকে আসে। স্বাধীনতার পর দেশের উদ্যোক্তাশ্রেণি তৈরি করেছে এই ব্যাংক খাত।
