57 Bangladesh Bank officials have left their jobs. These officers resigned to join other jobs including Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS). Bangladesh Bank sources have confirmed this information

Meanwhile, various discussions are going on about the resignation of 57 officials in the near future. Once upon a time, many people used to leave jobs like teaching in BCS, public universities and come to the central bank. Some believe that the lack of central bank autonomy is due to frustration, reduced job opportunities, etc.

Those concerned say that one of the big reasons why talented people came to work in Bangladesh Bank through competitive exams was their individuality. They could take different decisions independently. Now most of the decisions including inspections are imposed from above. Many people are disappointed with this. Again, the employees of Bangladesh Bank used to get a little more facilities than any other institution. Gradually it is being reduced to the same as any other job.

A deputy director and an officer are among those who resigned. The remaining 55 are assistant directors. The resignation of 48 of them will take effect on Thursday.

Apart from this, the resignations of one each on March 31, April 15 and 16, two on April 18 and four on April 21 have been effective.

Most of these officers who left their jobs were working in various departments of the central bank’s head office. Apart from this, three people each were working in Khulna and Barisal offices, two people in Sylhet office, one each in Motijheel, Chittagong and Rangpur offices.
