Participants from all the commercial banks attended the training programme on managing core risks in five selected areas in banking, which was introduced by Bangladesh Bank to develop capacity and procedures to handle risks, says a press release.

Earlier, Bangladesh Bank and SEDF jointly arranged two more training programmes on foreign exchange risk management in January and asset liability management in February, 2004.

SEDF is assisting the central bank to train about 1000 bankers in this year in 5 core risk areas. Similar programs are under consideration throughout the fiscal year to cover all these areas for the entire banking industry in Bangladesh.
