Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Wednesday dismissed the perception that the ongoing reforms in Bangladesh are being carried out under the prescription of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“We are carrying out these reforms in our own interest,” he said, while addressing the Accounting and Auditing Summit (A & A Summit) at a city hotel here under the theme of “FRC’s Role and its impact on economic governance of Bangladesh”.
Questioning the misperception of a section of people, the adviser said that even if the IMF and World Bank were to ask for something, and it was good for the country, then there should be no issues regarding the materr.
“What is the problem if they say something good? They are giving us technical assistance, and that is also a very good contribution,” he said.
The interim government has constituted a number of reform commissions and some of them have already submitted their reports to the government.
