Bangladesh to Host Major Roadshow in the USA to Boost Dollar Deposits
Next Friday, on May 24, Bangladesh will host a significant roadshow in the USA, featuring 30 managing directors from various domestic banks. This event aims to attract dollar deposits in response to recent fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
A total of 45 officials, including the managing directors of these 30 banks, will travel to the USA for a special promotional program designed to increase US dollar deposits in banks via offshore accounts. This marks the first time such a large gathering of Bangladeshi bank MDs will take place abroad.
Sources indicate that commercial banks are launching special campaigns to boost the flow of dollar deposits. The program will encourage expatriates to send dollars through official banking channels. To this end, a specific event focused on Offshore Banking Fixed Deposits has been organized for expatriates at a hotel in New York.
The Bangladesh Ambassador to the United States, Mohammad Imran, will serve as the chief guest at the event. Other special guests include Muhammad Abdul Muhith, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations in New York; Deputy Governor Kazi Sayedur Rahman; and Md Najmul Huda, Bangladesh Consulate General in New York.
This gathering highlights the increasing interest among Bangladeshi banks in diversifying their foreign currency reserves by exploring opportunities in offshore banking.
As part of this initiative, a promotional event has been organized to encourage Bangladeshis residing in the United States to deposit dollars through offshore banking.
