The meeting was held at Sonali Bank’s Motijheel head office.

It was decided in the Bangladesh Bank meeting held last Thursday with the leaders of BAFEDA and ABB, that the price of the dollar will be the same in all banks. Banks themselves will determine this price. As part of that, the leaders of BAFEDA and ABB decided the price of the dollar by meeting today. At the end of the meeting, BAFEDA Chairman Afzal Karim told reporters that all banks will comply with this new fixed price.

The new price is fixed according to the current price of the dollar. As a result, there is no reason to increase the price more than this. This market based price will be reviewed and supervised by Bangladesh Bank. But the price will be determined based on the market.
