Cricketer Shakib Al Hasan is set to gain control over two directorships of the proposed Islamic Shariah-based People's Bank.
Shakib and his mother Shirin Akhter's names have been sent to Bangladesh Bank for NOCs to clear their way for bank directorship.
MA Kashem, chief sponsor of the proposed bank, confirmed the information on Wednesday. Similarly, the concerned officials of Bangladesh Bank also verified it is true.
However, the bank has not yet received the required banking license from Bangladesh Bank. Experts have for quite some time voiced a view that the number of banks in the country is too high, and rather than inducting new players, there is a need for consolidation in the sector.
