Central Bank Deputy Governor Khurshid Alam commented that there is no barrier to journalists' entry to Bangladesh Bank and said, "You need information, go hundred times."
He said this at the inauguration of 'Customer Awareness Week' program in Panchagarh on Saturday (May 18) aimed at increasing the awareness of customers about banking.
Deputy Governor Khurshid Alam said that Bangladesh Bank has appointed three spokespersons to provide information. Not everyone needs to talk. There are three spokespersons. Go to them. There is seating. Tea is available. If they cannot satisfy you, we four deputy governors will answer you. Where is the problem? It is also said that journalists are prohibited from entering Bangladesh Bank.
In one question, he said, what to say freely? Will a private company of yours freely give anything to another company? How many friends will you give to the journalist? Then you say you want to go to Bangladesh Bank freely. We did not forbid going. You don't go my people are ready for you. If you want to go to an officer alone, go. If you want to come to me alone, come.
He said to the journalists, your aim is the welfare of the country, so is ours. The country belongs to everyone. This is what Bangabandhu said. Look at the Prime Minister; I struggle to run 17 departments. And the Prime Minister is handling the country and abroad. She can imagine how hard she is working.
Deputy Governor Khurshid Alam also said that a budget of Tk. 8 lakh crore will be announced this year. Don't be misled by those who are spreading misinformation. Bangladesh is now a role model for many countries. The country is moving forward. There is no time to look back. People's incomes have increased. Many are unknowingly spreading misleading information.
