DHAKA, Oct 13, 2025 (BSS) - The government today dismissed the “baseless rumours” being circulated on social media claiming that investors would incur losses due to the ongoing process of merging five Islamic banks.

A vested quarter was deliberately spreading such misinformation, but no government decision has been taken that could harm investors’ interests, said an official statement issued here by the Ministry of Finance.

“The matter of protecting investors’ interests is being carefully examined in the merger process,” it added.

The ministry also urged all concerned to remain alert against such “misleading and fabricated” information being spread online.
