Students' movement
Time to initiate urgent reforms in the banking sector
After the students' movement, an interim government assumed the responsibility of state management under special circumstances. The interim government is now passing three months in office. Public expectations from this government are very high. People hope that it will steer the country towards sustainable development by addressing the various damages created in society.
