Professor Dr. M. Zubaidur Rahman, in his presidential address, said that Islami Bank had faced many challenges in the past years. A group had weakened the foundation of the country’s top bank. However, with the combined efforts of the new board of directors formed after August 5, 2024 and the bank’s officers and employees, the bank started to turn around.
The bank has already paid all its liabilities to Bangladesh Bank. This has been possible due to the trust of 2.5 crore customers and the general public.

The directors are working tirelessly to establish good governance and strengthen the financial foundation of the bank. He thanked the shareholders for their gratitude and inspiration to the customers and well-wishers for trusting the bank.
