The Bangladesh interim government has published a book titled 'Reform Book' summarizing major reform initiatives undertaken since August 2024. According to a press release from the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing issued on Saturday morning, the publication outlines sector-wise reforms implemented after the interim administration, led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, assumed office during a period of severe economic and institutional crisis following the July uprising.

The press release stated that the government enacted around 130 new or amended laws and took over 600 executive decisions within 18 months, with about 84 percent of reforms already implemented. Key measures include strengthening banking oversight, restoring judicial independence, and ensuring media freedom. The government also reported progress in foreign relations, including tariff reductions with the United States, duty-free access for over 7,400 products to Japan, and renewed cooperation with China and India.

The statement described these reforms as the first step toward a new governance system, acknowledging that reversing 16 years of authoritarian damage cannot be achieved in 18 months but asserting that Bangladesh has moved decisively away from authoritarian rule.
