The interim government will take necessary measures to bring back all the laundered money, the finance adviser has said.
“To this end, first, it needs to take necessary steps based on right data and information,” Dr Saleh Uddin Ahmed said while exchanging views with reporters at the Secretariat on Wednesday.
“The priority of the interim government now is to bring the law and order situation under control.
“However, it's not just about the streets; the banking and financial sectors must be given top attention.
“This government isn't here for long, so these tasks need to be done quickly."
Dr Ahmed sees a challenge in restoring public trust in the banking sector.
"Immediate focus is needed on reviving this sector and working to control inflation," he added.
The finance advisor said that the economy faces multiple challenges, including issues with banks and inflation.
"We need to address all these areas," he added.
The finance adviser stressed the need for keeping banks open and ports operational with equal priority.
When asked about the resignation of the central bank governor, he said, "The position of the Bangladesh Bank is sensitive.
“It is true that he has resigned, but I cannot comment further at this moment. There is a meeting tomorrow (Sunday), and we will make a decision after discussing the matter during the meeting."
