The appointment of the new Bangladesh Bank governor, which rightfully drew criticism for the manner it was conducted, has also been met with optimism from the business community which is, in itself, a positive sign. With that said, confidence from the business community alone is not enough. If confidence in the central bank is to be meaningful, it must extend beyond boardrooms and into households. The governor has laid out an ambitious 11‑point plan to stabilize the economy, restore confidence, and strengthen the financial sector. Above all else, any future monetary policy must be guided not only by the pursuit of growth but also by the principle of equity.
