A group weakened the foundation of this top-tier institution. But with the new board of directors formed after 5 August 2024 and the joint efforts of the bank’s employees, Islami Bank started turning around.
The bank has already cleared all its dues with Bangladesh Bank. This was possible with trust of its 2.5 crore clients and the general public.
He said that Islami Bank stands as a symbol of trust. He added that after the July Revolution, Bangladesh Bank appointed the current board to revive the institution and protect customer interests.
Board members are working tirelessly to establish good governance and strengthen financial base, he said.
He expressed gratitude to the clients and well-wishers for their trust, and thanked the shareholders for their encouragement.
