In the workshop, the Speakers urged the officers to always be vigilant and proactive in fulfilling their responsibilities in light of the country’s existing laws, regulations, all instructions of Bangladesh Bank and BFIU and internal policies of the Bank. If we fail to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing in any way, the country, the economy, our bank and officers responsible will also have to suffer the consequences.
Moreover, for the sake of the country’s security and sustainable development, we have to take the right steps in this regard. Institutional initiatives must be strengthened to make the country free from money laundering and terrorist financing only then the country will move towards sustainable development. Money laundering hinders the overall development of a country. If we can take timely decisions on this issue and implement them properly, then this country will truly move towards progress.
