Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr Atiur Rahman yesterday suggested bankers to bring small and medium business activities in Cox’s Bazar region under banking services to support development of the tourism sector. “Banks need to play active role to bring all small and medium business activities of the tourism region Cox’s Bazar under banking service for their further development,” Atiur said while addressing as chief guest at the opening session of a workshop in Cox’s Bazar. Officials of different banks working in Cox’s Bazar region attended the workshop on financial inclusion, said a BB press release yesterday. He said the main objective of banks is to ensure banking services for marginal and grassroots level people. Banks must play active role to reach banking services to doorstep of local people because banks are run by people’s money, he added. The governor said banks should take steps to ensure banking service for small and medium salt producers in Cox’s Bazar. He also urged banks to make banking services available for fishermen in Cox’s Bazar. — BSS News:Daily Sun Bangladesh/25-Aug-2013
