Commenting on the reshuffle at the Bangladesh Bank Governor’s post, the Finance Minister said that changes are inevitable as a new government has come to power.
Khasru was speaking to reporters at the Ministry of Finance at Bangladesh Secretariat yesterday.
“A new government has come to power and it has some priorities. So, usually there will be some chang-es and there has been a change here as well. Such kind of change is not only taking place at Bangladesh Bank, but also in other areas.”
He added that changes would take place in many other areas, too.
Mentioning that the new government has some programs, preferences, thoughts and planning, Khasru said changes would be brought in those areas deemed necessary in a bid to materialize the desired things.
