Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus
Taskforce needed to repatriate laundered money
Several days have passed since the interim government was established under the leadership of Dr Muhammad Yunus. The Interim Government faces an ongoing challenge: to create a stable environment for import and export activities, increase foreign exchange reserves and revenue collection, ensure a steady supply of daily necessities, control commodity prices, combat inflation, and tackle widespread bribery and corruption. Additionally, it must address the issue of defaulted loans and restore order in the banking sector. Among the significant concerns during the Awami League government's tenure were corruption and money laundering. This discussion will focus specifically on money laundering and the repatriation of illicit funds. The current financial adviser, Saleh Uddin Ahmed, who previously served as the Governor of Bangladesh Bank, and Governor Ahsan H. Mansoor, a renowned economist, have both contributed regularly to various newspapers on banking sector issues and macroeconomic policies. Their expertise is expected to play a crucial role in restoring economic order.
