Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governor Nurun Nahar will act as the governor of the central bank.

She would carry out the duty in the absence of the governor, according to an office order signed by Financial Institutions Division Deputy Secretary Afsana Bilkis.

Nurun Nahar joined as the deputy governor on 2 July 2023. Before that, she was the most senior executive director (Grade-1) of the Bangladesh Bank.

On Friday, Governor Abdur Rouf Talukder resigned from his post on personal grounds. He took charge as the 12th governor on 12 July 2022 for a four-year term.

Rouf succeeded former governor Fazle Kabir, whose tenure ended on 3 July of the same year.
