Bangladesh Bank now fully open to journalists: DG

Bangladesh Bank (BB) authorities have withdrawn the restrictions on journalists' entry to its headquarters.

BB Deputy Governor (DG) Kazi Sayedur Rahman confirmed the information on Tuesday.

"The decision was taken at a discussion with Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) at BB headquarters in the city on Monday morning," he said.
A group of journalists led by ERF President Refayet Ullah Mirdha joined the meeting with the central bank high officials.

However, Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdul Rouf Talukder was absent in the meeting.

Earlier, BB had imposed the entry restriction on journalists on May 15, 2024.
