A search committee formed by the government has decided to publish advertisements in newspapers next week looking for candidates to fill two deputy governor posts of Bangladesh Bank (BB).
The decision was taken in the first meeting of the committee, held at the central bank headquarters in Dhaka on Tuesday with its convener and Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) Chairman Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad in the chair.
"We'll prepare a short-list of the applicants for interview," a member of the committee told the FE after the meeting.
The meeting also discussed the notification, issued by the Financial Institutions Division (FID) of the Ministry of Finance earlier, on hiring the deputy governors for the central bank, he added.
The government has set five criteria of eligibility for the posts.
The eligibility includes a minimum of 25 years' experience in public services including at least five years' experience about finance and financial institutions, or 25 years' working experience including two years' experience of acting as executive director or deputy managing director at local or foreign central banks or commercial banks or specialised banks.
Candidates having satisfactory communication presentation and negotiation skill can be given priority in appointment for the posts, according to the notification.
One deputy governor may be appointed from among the candidates having 25 years' experience of working at commercial banks and well-versed in financial technology.
The FID earlier formed the five-member search committee to select the two deputy governors for the BB.
Two deputy governor posts have already been filled against a maximum of four posts sanctioned.
