Drawing on his broad experience, he shared invaluable insights into Bangladesh’s financial landscape and how it compared with South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation peer nations.
He discussed the condition of the Bangladesh banking sector and equity market, outlining the challenges facing local companies seeking to raise capital for expansion.
Arif Khan also explored some changes that were taking place in global finance and how Bangladesh might navigate a course to become a developed economy in the future.
