Mohammad Abdur Rab, director of Bangladesh Bank's Supervisory Policy and Coordination Department (SPCD), and Shirajum Munira, additional director, were present as resource persons.
In his speech, Khwaja Shahriar emphasised the importance of good governance and proactive risk management in ensuring the bank's stability. He urged officials, particularly branch managers, to internalise the principles of risk-based supervision and implement them effectively at the field level.
Mohd Rafat Ullah Khan stated that risk-based supervision is a forward-looking approach that moves beyond traditional transaction-based oversight and places greater emphasis on a bank's risk management capability. He added that the bank is committed to aligning with the new supervisory framework and has already restructured its organogram and updated its risk management policies.
Deputy managing directors, heads of different divisions, and senior executives of the bank attended the programme, while 226 branch managers joined virtually.
