Dhaka is set to host the ICC Global Banking Commission Meeting in October–November 2027, marking a major milestone for Bangladesh’s financial sector on the global stage.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Banking Commission, Paris, proposed holding the event jointly with ICC Bangladesh, a proposal that was formally approved at the ICC Bangladesh Banking Commission Meeting on 12 October 2025, according to a media release.
The prestigious ICC Global Banking Commission Meeting is held annually in different countries, drawing banking professionals, regulators, multilateral institutions, and corporate leaders from around the world. The 2026 edition will take place in the United Kingdom, ahead of Bangladesh’s turn to host.
With over 800 members from more than 60 countries, the ICC Banking Commission serves as a leading global platform for advancing international trade finance, supply chain financing, and banking innovation.
During the recent meeting, ICC Bangladesh’s Banking Commission reviewed the secretariat’s activities for 2025 and finalized its Plan of Action for 2026. The plan includes workshops for bankers, MSMEs, and women entrepreneurs, along with seminars and roundtable discussions on key financial issues.
It was also decided to increase commission meetings to address topics such as the impact of LDC graduation, digitalization of international trade, cybersecurity, and other critical areas for the development of Bangladesh’s banking sector.
The meeting was chaired by Muhammad A. (Rumee) Ali, Chairman of the ICC Bangladesh Banking Commission, and attended by senior representatives from the Bangladesh Bank, commercial banks, financial institutions, and academia.
Hosting the global event in 2027 is expected to enhance Bangladesh’s visibility in the international banking community and underscore the country’s growing role in global trade and finance.
