What Bangladesh Bank Can Learn from Dr. Ahsan Mansur’s Tenure
Ahsan Mansur’s reflections extend far beyond central banking. His message is that meaningful reform cannot be achieved through administrative measures alone. It requires political consensus, institutional independence, rigorous accountability, and a commitment to the rule of law.

When Questions Become Dangerous
One missing article does not establish a return to authoritarianism. It does, however, present an opportunity to reject secrecy and reaffirm a principle before uncertainty hardens into distrust.

Nine years ago, the Rohingya crossed into Bangladesh expecting to stay for a season. They are still there. The speeches have changed hands three times, but the camps have not moved.
The Mecca Pact Just Failed Its First Real Test

The Clock is Ticking
The nation needs a doctrine to specifically define what the state should exist for and what it should deposit into the people's account for a longer term than an electoral cycle. The plan can be subordinated to the doctrine to ensure continuity of governance, not of party.
Why Bangladesh Cannot Afford to Fail the 2027 Money Laundering Test
Bangladesh does not need more boxes ticked. It needs evidence that financial crime is investigated regardless of who committed it, that stolen assets can be recovered, and that institutions can withstand political pressure.

Bangladesh’s All-Time Test XI
While recency bias plagues most All-Time XI lists, where how far you go back tends to depend on how old you are, with Bangladesh, we don’t really have to worry about that, as we can only go back to 2000 anyway.
Why the Taliban's Iron Grip is Slowly Cracking
