About this course

The **Assistant Director (General)** post at Bangladesh Bank is the most competitive banking job in the country. Vacancies number in the dozens; applications number in the hundreds of thousands. The work — monetary policy support, banking supervision, foreign exchange management, payment systems oversight, financial stability analysis — is also the most intellectually demanding entry-level position in Bangladeshi finance. Preparation differs from commercial bank preparation in emphasis rather than in kind. The MCQ stage covers the same ground with a heavier weighting towards **economics and financial awareness**. The written stage rewards **analytical writing on economic and policy questions** rather than routine focus writing. And the viva is conducted by people who work on monetary policy and bank supervision daily. This course covers the additional material the central bank route requires, and the analytical habits that distinguish a strong central bank candidate from a strong commercial bank one.
