SK Sur to become BB banking reform adviser

SK Sur Chowdhury yesterday completed his tenure as Bangladesh Bank deputy governor and will be appointed banking reform adviser for two years.

In his new responsibilities, Chowdhury will advise Bangladesh Bank and other authorities concerned in formulating and implementing reform policies, strategies and programmes for banks and financial institutions, according to a BB statement.

He joined Bangladesh Bank as an assistant director in May 1981 and has been serving as deputy governor since 2012.

Now there are two deputy governors against four posts, with one falling vacant earlier.

BB officials said a search committee formed for appointing new deputy governors on Tuesday interviewed seven persons, most of whom were executive directors.
