Bangladesh Bank has to provide info that people have right to know: Arafat

Bangladesh’s State Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Mohammad Ali Arafat, said the central bank must provide all information the public has a right to know, while protecting sensitive data. He acknowledged the need for a system that allows access to journalists while safeguarding confidential strategies. This comes after the Bangladesh Bank imposed restrictions on journalists’ entry into its headquarters, prompting condemnation from media bodies demanding free access. Photo: Amran Hossain
