He said Saturn's effect has fallen on the economic sector of Bangladesh for this, the country's economy is not able to stand straight.

"As the Awami League government seized power in 2009, since then, the whole economy has fallen into a terrible state of anarchy. At present, inflation, declining foreign exchange reserves, declining remittance flows, current account deficit, fiscal deficit and currency depreciation against foreign currency are so deplorable that the overall economy of the country has been pushed towards a major crisis. However, the global economic crisis has decreased a lot compared to before," said Fakhrul.

The global economy has not slowed down. How quickly Sri Lanka began to overcome from a disastrous economic situation. They have already repaid some of the loans they borrowed from Bangladesh, Mirza Fakhrul added.
