Bangladesh Bank Governor Md Mostaqur Rahman on Tuesday urged people to avoid speculation and rumours about Islami Bank Bangladesh PLC, saying unnecessary discussions could further complicate the situation.
He made the remarks while responding to journalists at a press conference at the central bank headquarters, where the new monetary policy for July-December 2026 was announced.
The governor said there appeared to be excessive speculation surrounding Islami Bank and called for patience while the situation is being closely monitored.
Mostaqur Rahman said Bangladesh Bank has provided liquidity support to different banks in recent years, including Tk 17,250 crore during the tenure of the Awami League government and Tk 51,000 crore under the interim government.
He said no bank required liquidity support during the first four months after the new government took office, describing it as a positive sign.
However, he said Islami Bank has so far received Tk 13,000 crore in liquidity support.
The central bank governor said Bangladesh Bank is monitoring the matter carefully and taking steps within the legal framework.
He stressed that Islami Bank is a banking company regulated under the Bank Company Act and assured that the central bank would not take any action beyond the law.
