মাতৃভাষা মানুষের সবচেয়ে প্রিয় এবং তা মনোভাব প্রকাশের জন্য সসবচেয়ে বেশী উপযোগী। অন্যকোন ভাষায় মনোভাব প্রকাশ করে পরিপূর্ণ আনন্দ পাওয়া যায় না।  পৃথিবীতে মনের ভাব প্রকাশের জন্য অসংখ্য ভাষা সৃষ্টি হয়েছে।  প্রত্যেক জাতির মাতৃভাষার নিজস্ব একটা বৈশিষ্ট্য আছে এবং মাতৃভাষার সাথে এমন একটি আত্মিক সম্পর্ক থাকে যে, সেই ভাষাই তার মনোভাব প্রকাশের সর্বোত্তম বাহন হিসেবে বিবেচিত হয়। বিদেশি ভাষা কষ্ট করে আয়ত্ব করা গেলেও তার মর্ম যথার্থ উপলদ্ধি করা যায় না এবং তাতে মনোভাব প্রকাশের যথেষ্ট অন্তরায় থাকে। তাই পৃথিবীর অসংখ্য ভাষার মধ্যে মাতৃভাষাই সবচেয়ে আপন  এবং মনোভাব প্রকাশের শ্রেষ্ঠ মাধ্যম ।বাঙ্গালিদের কাছে বাংলা  মনোভাব প্রকাশের শ্রেষ্ঠ মাধ্যম । কারন এটি বাঙ্গালির মাতৃভাষা। বাঙ্গালির রক্তে মাংসে মজ্জায় বাংলা ভাষা মিষে আছে। বাঙ্গালিরা পরভাষা চর্চা করে বটে,কিন্তু বাংলাতেই তার যত স্বাছন্দ্য।

Global initiatives  of  reviewing and strengthening of  Banking  sector risk  are progressing satisfactorily,but there are some unsettled key issues on which broad consessus  will be important in aaverting future episodes of global bank crisis. These include prevention of overgrowth of  banks and  financial institutions to “too big to fail” dimensions posing threat to stability: avoiding the need of publicly funded bank bailouts by forcing separation of retail banking essential for public life from investment banking focused on private gains; and debarring  banks and financial institutional from speculative position taking in commodity futures,which fuels  price volatility for gains at the expense  of consumers.
