খেলাপি ঋণ আদায়, অর্থ পাচার রোধে সরকারের নানা উদ্যোগের কথা জানালেন অর্থমন্ত্রী

The Finance Minister has announced that the government and Bangladesh Bank are implementing multiple measures to combat rising non-performing loans, loan fraud, and money laundering within the banking sector. These initiatives include taking action against major loan defaulters and ensuring the safety of depositors' funds. Specific strategies have been developed for banks with high rates of classified loans, and guidelines are in place to identify and penalize willful loan defaulters. To curb money laundering and recover illicitly transferred funds, an inter-agency task force has identified eleven priority cases, with joint investigation teams formed to pursue them. These teams have successfully attached or frozen approximately 76,814 crore Taka worth of assets both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, 142 cases have been filed to recover laundered money, with some resulting in convictions.

These government actions are crucial for restoring public confidence in the banking system and safeguarding national financial stability.
