The country's economy has to be rejuvenated braving various existing economic challenges especially in the financial and banking sector, Adviser for the Ministries of Finance and Planning of the newly-formed interim government Saleh Uddin Ahmed said today (9 August).
"The pace and operations of our businesses have slowed down while there are various challenges in the economy especially in the banking and financial sector. We'll have to rejuvenate our economy," he said.
Saleh Uddin, also a former central bank governor, said this while talking to reporters after the allocation of portfolios of the chief adviser and other advisers of the interim government.

The adviser also vowed to restore discipline in the banking sector, the financial sector as well as in the capital market. "Insha'Allah, we'll try to fix all those sectors," he said.
