Timeline
Fakhruddin Ahmed (born 1 May 1940) is a Bangladeshi economist, civil servant, and a former governor of the Bangladesh Bank, the country's central bank.
He also served as the Acting Prime minister of Bangladesh.
Ahmed was born on 1 May 1940 in Munshiganj to Mohiuddin Ahmed.
He studied economics at Dhaka University, where he obtained his BA (Hons) and MA in 1960 and 1961, respectively, standing first in his class both times.
He earned a master's degree in development economics from Williams College and a Ph.D. in economics from Princeton University in 1975.
His doctoral dissertation was titled "Migration and employment in a multisector model; an application to Bangladesh."
He then became managing director of the Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), the country's apex micro-finance organisation, beginning on 1 June 2005.
On 12 January 2007, he was appointed Chief Adviser (Head of the Government) of the non-party interim Caretaker government, during the 2006–2008 Bangladeshi political crisis.
On 12 January 2007, President Iajuddin Ahmed swore him in as Chief Adviser to the Interim Caretaker Government, after the former interim government under the President was dissolved.
Fakhruddin Ahmed is credited with bringing an end to the anarchy that had threatened to sweep the nation.
More than 160 senior politicians, top civil servants, and security officials were arrested on charges of graft and other economic crimes.
Included were former ministers from the two main political parties, the Awami League and the Bangladesh National Party, including former prime ministers Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, and the former acting prime minister Fazlul Haque.
Ahmed fainted while giving a speech at a tree-planting event on 3 June 2007, apparently due to the heat, and was hospitalized.
He was released from the hospital later the same day and has said that he was well.
He continued in that post for nearly two years, a longer than usual time, but new elections were held on 29 December 2008, and the Awami League assumed power based on its majority.
