Spokesperson Husnay Ara Shikha made the call at a press conference held at the conference room of Bangladesh Bank on Wednesday.

He said, there is no unnecessary panic about the banks. The central bank has a good plan to put the banks on a good footing.

He also said, we are calling all the depositors, do not withdraw more than necessary money from the bank. We want to restore trust. Work is going on for this. Banks that have had problems have already had changes in their boards. Banks in crisis have been given liquidity assistance of Tk 5,585 crore in the last one and a half months.

The central bank spokesperson said that the task force is working on reforming the banking sector. Another task force is working to enhance the skills of Bangladesh Bank officials. The third is working to bring back the laundered money. Recruitment of lawyers and consultants from different countries is underway to bring back the smuggled money.

Regarding the appointment of receivers in various industrial groups, the spokesperson said, Bangladesh Bank will not appoint 'receivers' in any business on its own initiative. If there is a court order, the decision will be taken accordingly.

When asked about irregularities related to loans of controversial industrial groups in various banks, Husnay Ara said that BFIU has already seized many accounts. They have not given any information to the central bank on this matter.

In response to a question about money laundering, the spokesperson said that the central bank will investigate if the money goes through formal (legitimate) channels. But it is difficult to investigate when money is laundered through hundi. BFIU is working on this. We take the matter of money laundering very seriously; But it will be through legal process, not coercion. We have a lot of expatriate income coming in. The United States tops the list of expatriate remittances. Not only the remittances that have come from this country, but also the investments.

Husnay Ara Shikha said about inflation control, inflation came down after the Bangladesh Bank increased the policy interest rate. If it continues for the next six months, inflation is expected to come down to around 6 percent. It has already worked in many countries. As a result, we are also on the same policy. Hopefully, this policy will work in our country as well.
