Bangladesh Bank has twice invited applications for establishing digital banks in the country.

The phrase "Garbage in, garbage out," coined by IBM programmer George Fuechsel, reflects the two most important challenges associated with data analysis and policymaking. Poor or unreliable data leads to misleading conclusions and poorly informed policies that may have great repercussions. Whereas many other developed countries have managed to develop solid systems that showcase exact data, Bangladesh has often lagged in this regard and has thus continued to provide inconsistent data ever since the beginning of collecting data. The incongruity affects a great deal of decision-making at the national level, from economic planning to health management to educational policies.
