We are under economic stress: Planning minister
Bangladesh is under economic stress, said Planning Minister MA Mannan today.
"The world is in turmoil due to global issues. We are currently under a bit of financial pressure. Don't be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of," the minister said while speaking as the chief guest at the seminar titled " Development of Moulvibazar district and our actions," on Wednesday (24 May).
"We are not at the pre-Covid stage yet. That is why one may sometimes feel that the speed of development has slowed down. We will soon gain full momentum, and complete the tasks at hand. There is much more work to be done," he added.
