Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said “a lie” is being circulated that country’s banks have no money.
“Some people talk about forex reserves but there is no issue regarding the reserve. Some say, there is no money in the banks, which is a lie. Even yesterday, I had a meeting with the Bangladesh Bank governor and others concerned. We have enough money in banks,” Hasina said.
She was addressing a mass rally at Jashore Stadium organised by the district Awami League on Thursday, reports UNB.
The prime minister said due to Covid-19 there has been an economic crisis around the world but in Bangladesh, economy is standing on a strong base till now.
“We have remittance inflow, foreign investments are coming, our export income has increased, and our tax collection is also up. When all countries are struggling to avoid a recession, Bangladesh still remains stable economically,” she added.
Sheikh Hasina also said after 1975, no development work was done in the country.
BNP only “looted the country when they were in power,” she alleged.
