CEO’s Foreword, Sep 2021

Dear readers, 

As the nation has been recovering under the pandemic circumstances, the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and valuable stakeholders has been our utmost priority. The past year and a half has been uniquely difficult due to the effects Covid-19 along with financial uncertainty, climate change and technological disruption that has tested our strength and resilience. Moving forward, we face important collective challenges in sustaining the recovery and growth of our economy in a post-pandemic era. 

Yet, the show must go on. MAY International and our partner institutions have not just survived past crises, but we have emerged stronger every time. Time and again, we have demonstrated our ability to persevere, adapt and thrive in highly demanding situations. Going forward, the banking sector stands to play a crucial role as its institutions will lead the common vision of becoming a flourishing country in the next decades. In what is proving to be a highly disruptive time, many industries are displaying surprising hopes of growth including IT, agri-business, foreign remittance and capital markets. We believe with our total effort and collaboration, Bangladesh will reach high figures in commerce, macro-economy and human development indicators within the next few years and become a shining global example. 

However, we still face much global uncertainty at hand as we are yet to fully understand how the new normal will operate. In any situation, our confidence in our organisation and in our partners means that we commit to the highest standards in cooperation and in facilitating market leading financial solutions through our global and local networks.

- Syed Aminul Kabir
