Commenting that earlier information was kept hidden, we are presenting the correct one, Finance Adviser to the interim government Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed said, there are various gaps in the information of the last 15 years. An attempt has been made to hide the information. We are trying to change and reform it.

He said, donor agencies ask us various questions, they want to explain - it was less before etc. We are explaining to them - earlier information was kept hidden, we are presenting the correct one.

Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed said this at a program organized on Saturday (December 21) at the CIRDAP auditorium in the capital under the chairmanship of Dr. Hossain Zillur Rahman, chairman of the publication festival of the 6th edition of the Banking Almanac and former adviser to the caretaker government.

The finance adviser to the interim government has commented that there are many faults or errors of the players (big participants) and regulators (regulatory authorities) behind the instability of the capital market. He said, you are buying Z category shares, which do not exist. Again, I am not in favor of agitating only when the share price decreases.

Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed said, BBS (Bureau of Statistics) has been told to publish the information that is there. There is no issue of rigging here. The capital market situation is similar to our banking and financial sectors. There are processions saying to remove the chairman because the share price of the capital market is decreasing. I am adamant on this matter, I said - stay.

The finance adviser said, nothing is evaluated without correct information and data. Foreign investors have to face various questions about the data outages of the last 15 years. There are some unintentional mistakes behind the data outages on inflation and GDP, and policymakers also try to hide the data.

He also said, we have not come to show any power, we have come with a responsibility. There are various outages with the data of the last 15 years. There have been attempts to hide the data. We are trying to change and reform them. Because donor agencies ask us various questions, they want to explain - it was less before, etc. We are explaining to them - the previous data was hidden, we are presenting the correct one.

The special guests at the event were - Finance Secretary Dr. Md. Khairuzzaman and Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governor Nurun Nahar. The speakers were - Association of Bankers, Bangladesh (ABB) Chairman and Dhaka Bank Chairman Abdul Hai Sikder, former ABB Chairman Nurul Amin, Executive Director of the book Syed Zia Uddin Ahmed, Abdar Rahman, and others.
