CEO of StanChart Asia visits Bangladesh

Benjamin Hung, chief executive officer, Asia, Standard Chartered, arrived in Dhaka earlier this week for his first official visit to Bangladesh, says a press release.
His visit marks the second recent visit by a member of the bank's global senior leadership team, following a two-year pause during the height of the pandemic.
As part of his two-day visit, Benjamin met with regulators, senior government officials, economists, the bank's clients, and with other key stakeholders.
The core agenda of his visit was to get a first-hand perspective on one of the fastest growing markets in the world and to gain an insight on how Bangladesh contributes to Asia's resilience, dynamism, and growth.
Throughout his visit, Benjamin explored how the bank is driving greater digital innovation, accelerating sustainability, and placing an emphasis on greater prosperity and progress nationwide.
Benjamin dedicated some of his time in Bangladesh to explore the bank's far-reaching community engagement initiatives by visiting Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital (Islamia). Islamia is the birthplace of "Seeing is Believing (SiB)" - which ran from 2003 to 2019 and was one of the bank's global flagship community-oriented initiatives for over 15 years.
Benjamin Hung was appointed Standard Chartered's chief executive officer for Asia in January of 2021. He sits on the Group's Management Team and is the Chairman of Standard Chartered Bank (China) Limited. Since joining Standard Chartered in 1992, he has held a number of senior management positions spanning corporate, commercial, and retail banking.
