Fakhruddin Ahmed Politician

Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed (Bengali: ফখরুদ্দিন আহমেদ, Fokhruddin Ahmed) (born May 1, 1940) is a noted Bangladeshi economist, civil servant, and a former governor of the Bangladesh Bank, the country's central bank. On 12 January 2007, he was appointed as the Chief Adviser (Head of the Government) of the non-party interim caretaker government of Bangladesh, amidst chaos in Bangladeshi politics. He continued in that post for nearly two years, a longer than usual time, but new elections were held in December 2008, and the Awami League assumed power based on its majority.
