With the advent of a transition government and the outlook for open and fair elections in the near future, there now seems to be a chance for change and a return to peace and stability.

On behalf of the GABV network and its partners, we extend our wholehearted support to BRAC Bank and the BRAC family, their co-workers, clients and their families in these difficult times. We are in touch with our colleagues, and they have assured us that the bank and its staff are safe and well and that the situation has stabilized.
