About Me

As a passionate Central Banker and lifelong learner, I am dedicated to advancing the fields of Finance, Economics, and Banking through strategic policy work, trade operations, and financial intelligence. Since joining Bangladesh Bank, the Central Bank of Bangladesh, in 2017, I have cultivated broad-based expertise across international trade operations, monetary policy execution, and financial intelligence policy development. In January 2020, I was awarded a prestigious scholarship by Bangladesh Bank to pursue the Master’s in Bank Management (MBM) at the Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM)—the country’s premier institute for banking professionals. I successfully completed the program in December 2022. Following my post-MBM transition, I contributed to the Letter of Credit (LC) Department, where I was responsible for: Verifying and examining trade and shipping documents Processing LC amendments and endorsements Managing trade service operations for the Government of Bangladesh Overseeing outward remittances to Bangladeshi embassies and consulates abroad
