Prior to his new assignment, he served the central bank as an executive director.
The public administration ministry said in an order on Thursday that the contract will end when Jamal turns 62.
In December, the government formed a search panel to appoint deputy governors, which then forwarded its recommendations to the government.
The Bangladesh Bank’s organogram has four deputy governors, with one still vacant following the latest appointment.
The two other deputy governors are Abu Hena Mohd Razee Hassan and SM Moniruzzaman.
Jamal, who hails from Kushtia, joined Bangladesh Bank as an assistant director in 1984 after graduating in accounting from Rajshahi University.
He is replacing Shitangshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury, whose term as a deputy governor ended on Jan 31.
Chowdhury now serves as an adviser to the central bank.
