DHAKA, July 24, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Bank (BB) has withdrawn its internal advisory regarding professional and modest attire for its staff.
 
In a statement this morning, Executive Director and spokesperson of the central bank Arif Hossain Khan said that no official circular had been issued and no policy-level decision was made regarding the matter.
 
He mentioned that the suggestion for wearing modest dress was brought up during meeting at the departmental level, considering social context and maintaining professional decorum.
 
However, the discussions were confined to specific departments and did not reflect any central directive.
 
"After the issue came to the attention of the Governor, who is currently abroad, through media coverage, he expressed dissatisfaction. Following his instructions, the advisory has been withdrawn," he added.
