BRAC Bank’s Managing Director and CEO Selim RF Hussain and other senior officials presented the financial results, operational achievements, and strength of the bank and outlined the bank’s strategic focus for the future. At the end of the disclosure event, a Q&A session was conducted.
Selim commented that the bank has achieved strong growth in line with its medium-term strategy. “BRAC Bank's growth in deposits and loans is well above the industry average, and this is a testament to the customer's trust in the bank and its long-term sustainability. The bank has significantly upgraded its services and customer propositions in the last year through digital technology and customized products. We plan to continue this momentum and double our business by 2025.”
“BRAC Bank is recognized by all stakeholders as a role model for corporate governance, compliance and values-based banking in Bangladesh.
