HBL President & CEO Nassir Salim to Visit Bangladesh

HBL, with over 45 years of service in Bangladesh, continues to be a leading financial institution in the region, recognized for its client-centric innovations. The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) holds a 51% stake in HBL, which operates across multiple geographies.

During his visit, Salim is set to meet with senior government officials, policymakers, business leaders, and key stakeholders from both the public and private sectors. The visit is particularly timely, as Bangladesh seeks to boost foreign direct investment and strengthen trade links within the China-Middle East-South Asia economic corridor.

As Bangladesh’s economy grows and its regional trade connectivity expands, HBL is well-positioned to support investment flows, infrastructure financing, and tailored banking solutions. Notably, HBL Bangladesh offers Renminbi (RMB/CNY) denominated accounts to clients and is one of the few South Asian and MENA region banks providing end-to-end RMB Intermediation, enhancing its capacity to engage with prominent firms and financial institutions in China.

Muhammad Nassir Salim became President & CEO of HBL in March 2024.
