Dhaka: Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed today assured that no bank would be shut down in the country, noting that while some banks are recovering well, others may continue to face challenges. 'We're trying and corrections are being made in the banking sector… Islami Bank is on the path of recovering. The interim government has no intention of closing any bank,' he stated at a press conference at his ministry at Bangladesh Secretariat. According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dr Salehuddin emphasized that stabilizing the banking sector and restoring trust are among the interim government's primary objectives, ensuring the protection of depositors in the process. He reassured honest business owners, stating that those who repay their loans on time and pay taxes have nothing to fear. He further indicated that those who exploited loopholes during the previous government's tenure are the ones currently apprehensive about the situation. The press conference was attended by Finance Secretary Dr Khairuzzaman Mo zumder, Economic Relations Division Secretary Shahriar Kader Siddiky, National Board of Revenue Chairman Md Abdur Rahman Khan, and Financial Institutions Division Secretary Nazma Mobarek, among others.
