Speaking at the event, the bank's Chairman Jashim Uddin gave assurances that the BCB will introduce a diversified banking system in the country. 

He added, "This bank will disburse loans to micro, small and medium entrepreneurs on a priority basis, because they usually face a lot of hurdles in getting loans. We will invest in creative ideas from educated and meritorious Bangladeshis."

Addressing the event as the chief guest, Commerce Minister, Tipu Munshi said that private banks have been playing an important role in the growth of Bangladesh's businesses.

He also urged the BCB officials to uphold this trend by playing a role to curb unemployment and providing loans to fresh entrepreneurs as much as possible and.
