On this momentous day, July 29, 2025, as The Bangladesh Express completes its 31-year milestone journey, we express our deepest gratitude to our valued readers, patrons, and advertisers. Your unwavering support has sustained us through decades of challenges and transformations. Today, as the nation solemnly commemorates the martyrs of the bloody July Movement for FREEDOM, we honour this shared history with humility and renewed resolve.
Our journey began modestly in the politically charged month of July 1994—not as a daily, but as a bi-weekly magazine. Few could have predicted its evolution into a dynamic English-language daily that would earn the attention of the country’s corporate, financial, and political circles. Guided by an unwavering editorial commitment to FREEDOM, The Bangladesh Express gained credibility through professional reporting, analytical depth, and fearless truth-telling. From pioneering in-depth analyses and credit ratings to hosting dialogues with CEOs, our business and financial coverage redefined English-language journalism in Bangladesh. We reported political upheavals with clarity and fairness, and captured the spirit of the historic July 2024 uprising with honesty and conviction.
There exists a deep reservoir of goodwill between the financial industry and the journalism profession in this country. Yet, we must acknowledge the serious threat posed by fake news—especially in the age of social media. Misinformation, whether accidental or deliberate, erodes trust. At its worst, it fuels hateful propaganda, undermining democratic discourse. The Bangladesh Express has long resisted the pull of sensationalism and instead insisted on depth, context, and accuracy—especially in reporting financial and economic matters.
As we step into our 32nd year, The Bangladesh Express renews its pledge: to speak the truth without fear, to report with integrity, and to be a Voice for Freedom in every sense of the word.
The link between economic reporting and public expectations is still evolving. Financial journalists are too often criticized—sometimes fairly—for superficiality, lack of scepticism, and inadequate investigative depth. But these shortcomings are often rooted in the increasing complexity of financial systems that outpace the training and resources available to most journalists. This is where we have made our mark. Our commitment to understanding the financial sector and translating its operations into accessible, intelligible journalism has been unwavering. We believe that an informed readership is the foundation of a free-market democracy.
On our 31st anniversary, we solemnly honour the heroes who shaped the moral foundation of our republic—the martyrs of the 1971 Liberation War, the leaders of the 1990 Democratic Movement, and the courageous youth and citizens of the July 2024 Revolution. Led by students and embraced by the nation, the movement was more than a protest—it was a turning point. It exposed deep-rooted corruption, authoritarian rule, and electoral fraud. In defiance, a new generation rose with clarity and conviction, sparking a long-overdue reckoning on democracy, justice, and accountability. We honour their sacrifice and renew our pledge to uphold the spirit of their struggle.
In our 31-year journey, The Bangladesh Express has been a steadfast witness to history. We’ve documented voter-less elections, economic crises, and global shifts. But we’ve also endured long nights of silence—especially over the past 15 years—when truth-telling became a dangerous act. The rise of state-sponsored repression, enforced disappearances, and attacks on press freedom forced many media outlets into compliance or silence. We chose to speak when we could, and to resist in the ways we must. We refused to abandon our principles even as many corporate-owned media houses prioritized profits and political favor over public service.
In an era flooded with conflicting information, we stand apart—not just as a publication, but as a public trust. Our model is simple but powerful: journalism that serves people, not power. Backed by a team of innovative journalists and domain experts, we are uniquely positioned to offer balanced, insightful, and fact-checked reporting. Our core mission remains: to be a platform for transparent and impartial journalism, fostering an informed and engaged citizenry.
We reject the false binary that pits print media against social media. Instead, we embrace a hybrid model that draws strength from both. As the industry shifts, The Bangladesh Express leads with its own mantra: “Mighty things from small beginnings grow.” Our influence has not only endured but expanded, helping shape public discourse and policymaking with credibility and conviction.
Our purpose extends beyond reporting. We advocate for justice, resist oppression, and expose corruption. That’s why our editorial motto—“Free markets, free people”—is more than a slogan. It is our editorial soul. Each edition is a platform for civil discourse, free expression, and market-driven fairness. We believe freedom of speech and free-market conservatism are not opposing ideals but complementary forces in a democratic society.

The delicate balance between social responsibility and editorial judgment is central to our identity. We cover what the public cares about, but we also highlight what the public ought to know—no matter how uncomfortable that truth may be. With our unique editorial voice and precise attention to detail, our readers don’t just read the news; they understand it.
What sets The Bangladesh Express apart is our commitment to meaningful journalism—investigations that expose wrongdoing, dialogues that drive industry reforms, and platforms that amplify marginalized voices. With an eagle-eyed focus, we go beyond headlines to uncover underlying truths. Our newsroom is built on the highest ethical standards. Every piece of content is thoroughly researched, rigorously verified, and carefully presented.
We are proud to feature insights from financial experts, sector leaders, and seasoned analysts who help illuminate the complex forces shaping our world. We value fairness, even in a time when objectivity is increasingly contested. Our editorial pages foster intellectual freedom, while our reporting remains committed to clarity and truth.
As we step into our 32nd year, The Bangladesh Express renews its pledge: to speak the truth without fear, to report with integrity, and to be a Voice for Freedom in every sense of the word. We thank you for being part of this journey, and we invite you to walk with us toward a freer, fairer, and more informed Bangladesh.
