Bangladesh Bank has rejected reports circulating in sections of the media claiming that a managing director from a private bank is set to be appointed as its new deputy governor.
In a statement, central bank spokesperson and Executive Director Arif Hossain Khan said the information was “baseless and untrue,” adding that no such decision has been taken.
He warned that publishing unverified reports on sensitive financial matters could create confusion among the public and negatively affect the stability of the banking sector.
The spokesperson also urged media outlets to exercise caution and verify information from official sources before publishing such news.
Analysts said appointments to senior positions in the banking sector are highly sensitive and require responsible reporting, as misinformation can impact investor confidence and market stability.
The clarification comes amid growing concerns over the spread of unverified information on social and online platforms, prompting authorities to stress the need for accuracy in financial reporting.
