DHAKA: Bangladesh central bank governor Atiur Rahman has submitted his resignation as tensions escalate with the finance minister after hackers stole about US$101mil from the nation’s foreign reserves.
Rahman submitted his resignation yesterday to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, according to A.F.M. Asaduzzaman, a spokesman at Bangladesh Bank. Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, who called the central bank’s handling of the theft “very incompetent,” said a former bureaucrat would likely take his place.
