I enjoyed this wide ranging discussion with my former Embassy Dhaka colleague Avik Rahman. We discuss the political landscape six months after Bangladesh’s 2024 elections, two recently published public opinion polls, strained relations with India, and Dhaka’s potential interest in joining the Mecca Pact.

Bangladesh’s fintech sector urgently needs reforms to achieve interoperability, digital credit innovation, and a secure data-sharing ecosystem.

Bangladesh Bank should form a task force on fintech to prioritize these reforms that can catalyze the sector.

"Now more than ever, we must earn back the confidence of our promising young entrepreneurs, leaders, builders, coders, operators and professionals so that they choose to pursue their aspirations in Bangladesh," Ahmed said.

"The transformational change we witnessed over the past few days, brings with it the opportunity to retell our story to the outside world, including global venture capital investors," said Fahim Ahmed, CEO of @PathaoBD.

He said the first among such steps are the appointments to key positions at the institutions that will shape the trajectory for the economy, the financial system, and technology sector.

"But for that story to be compelling, credible and executable, we must soon demonstrate meaningful steps towards building the institutions that can create a business environment that is open and transparent, and nurtures skill, innovation and enterprise," he said.
