Dhaka: The government today dismissed the 'baseless rumours' being circulated on social media claiming that investors would incur losses due to the ongoing process of merging five Islamic banks.

According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the matter of protecting investors' interests is being carefully examined in the merger process. The ministry's statement reassured stakeholders, highlighting that safeguarding investors' interests is a priority in the merger discussions.
The ministry also urged all concerned to remain alert against such 'misleading and fabricated' information being spread online. The government emphasized the importance of relying on official channels for accurate information regarding the merger process.
