Maqsood gets top job at BSEC

Khondoker Rashed Maqsood has been appointed as the new chairman of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) for a four-year term. This follows M Masrur Reaz’s declination of the post a day earlier. Maqsood, currently an adviser at the International Finance Corporation, has previously held leadership positions at Standard Bank, NRB Commercial Bank, and Citibank. The position became vacant after Shibli Rubayat-Ul Islam’s resignation on August 11, following the fall of the Awami League government.
