Financial Institutions Division

FID is one of four divisions of the Ministry of Finance (alongside Finance Division, Economic Relations Division, and Internal Resources Division). It exercises administrative ownership over six state-owned commercial banks: Sonali, Agrani, Janata, Rupali, BASIC, and Bangladesh Development Bank, plus three specialised banks (Bangladesh Krishi Bank, RAKUB, Probashi Kallyan Bank), plus non-bank financial institutions and insurers. The established_year of 2001 is based on the Wikipedia article on FID indicating it was carved out as a separate division; the Bank and Financial Institutions Division existed under the MoF framework from 2001 per the Rules of Business. Secretary Nazma Mobarek held the post prior to March 26, 2026; Md. Zakaria (formerly Chairman, Bangladesh Food Safety Authority) took over on that date per BSS and TBS. BB Governor Mostaqur Rahman (appointed February 25, 2026, joined February 26, 2026) replaced Ahsan H Mansur; the governor change was the most significant single event in the FID's operating environment in this window. The Sammilito Islami Bank merger is FID-adjacent (Bangladesh Bank leads the banking resolution; FID manages the government capital stake). All figures verified against 2+ primary sources.
