Restoring trust in the banking sector is crucially important

How could two state institutions participate in this process?

In a major development, three state agencies yesterday made a series of moves against the S Alam Group, its chairman Mohammed Saiful Alam, and his family members amid allegations of loan irregularities during the 15-year tenure of the recently ousted Awami League government.

S Alam Group and its associate companies took out Tk 95,331 crore between 2017 and June this year from six banks, with 79 percent of the sum coming from Islami Bank.

The Bangladesh Bank restricted six banks linked to S Alam Group from lending activities to prevent their situation from deteriorating further amid allegations of wrongdoing.
