BRAHMANBARIA, July 5, 2025 (BSS) - Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed today said that the government is committed to returning money to depositors.
 
"Confidence is returning to the bank. A Bank Resolution Act has also been enacted. The first condition is that the government is committed to returning money to depositors. No one's money will be lost - it might take a little time, as many people have taken money and left. Such incidents have not happened in any other country in the world," he said.
 
The adviser said this following a meeting with government officials at the Nabinagar Upazila auditorium under Brahmanbaria district.

Regarding the National Board of Revenue (NBR), he said efforts are underway to resolve the issue. "We will do whatever is necessary through discussions. A powerful five-member committee has also been formed," he added. 
 
The adviser further said that the government is trying to simplify the investment process for foreign investors. "We are ensuring that they do not have to go to 10-12 places for business. We are trying to centralise all types of clearances," he said.
