Bangladesh Bank Implements New KPI Framework for Bank CEOs to Enhance Accountability and Financial Stability

Bangladesh Bank has introduced a new Key Performance Indicator (KPI) framework for Managing Directors and CEOs of banks, effective from October 1, 2026. The framework aims to strengthen accountability, safeguard depositor interests, and improve governance and financial stability within the banking sector. Performance will be assessed across five areas: bank solvency and liquidity, asset quality, profitability, governance and internal control, and inclusion, customer, and market conduct. CEOs will receive a score for an individual KPI only if at least 50% of the predetermined target is achieved.
