Before joining as the Finance Secretary, he served as the Secretary of the Energy and Mineral Resources Division under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources. Before that, he served as the Additional Secretary (Macroeconomic) in the Finance Division under the Ministry of Finance. He joined Bangladesh Civil Service (Administration) in the 11th Batch in April 1993, and later served in various positions of BCS (Customs & Excise) in the National Board of Revenue under the Ministry of Finance.

 

Dr. Mozumder has a PhD in government (political economy) from the University of Essex in United Kingdom. He has also obtained an MA in political economy from the McGill University in Canada. He obtained an MSS in international relations from the University of Dhaka in First Class securing the Second Position, and prior to that he obtained a BSS (Honors) in international relations from the same university securing the First Position. He also received advanced certificates in French Language. During his long professional career, he participated in numerous training programs at home and abroad covering fiscal affairs, finance, trade and development issues.

 

Dr. Mozumder served in various capacities in government and international development, holding offices in the Energy and Mineral Resources Division, Ministry of Commerce, National Board of Revenue, Deputy Commissioner’s Office of Bandarban, USAID Programme (as COP of IBI project), Business Promotion Council, and Bangladesh Foreign Trade Institute. He has also served as an adjunct faculty at the Bangladesh Institute of Governance and Management (BIGM) teaching three masters- level courses namely WTO & International Trade, Macroeconomics, and International Economics.

 

To ensure energy security in Bangladesh through augmenting domestic gas production works on new exploration, workover and development of wells have been undertaken during his tenure as the Secretary of the Energy and Mineral Resources Division. Also the Offshore Model PSC 2023 has been formulated through the upgradation of the existing model PSC to attract foreign companies in the exploration of gas in Bangladesh. Besides, two new long-term gas supply agreements have been signed with Qatar and Oman in addition to existing contracts to increase gas supply through LNG imports.
