Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed has expressed his distress over the prevailing situation, saying that the country is now experiencing numerous challenges, apart from those faced by the finance ministry.
“Many people criticise us and term us as feeble. You will criticise us, that’s fine, but it doesn’t give a good impression externally. It tarnishes our image,” said the seasoned economist while addressing a function held at Dhaka Residential Model College on Friday.
It is not easy to fulfill the requirements for the common people, said the finance adviser about the people’s aspirations in the national budget for the next fiscal year.
Hinting about the external challenges in the financial sector, Salehuddin said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was not able to impose all its decisions on Bangladesh this time.
“We reached a solution on a logical ground with the IMF,” said the finance adviser during the programme of Bangladesh Economic Olympiad 2025 held with Hossail Zillur Rahman, chairman of the organizing committee, in the chair.
