Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam stated that the interim government took charge amid a fragile economy and instability, describing the situation on August 5 as nearly wartime. Speaking at a press briefing after the final meeting of the Advisory Council at the Foreign Service Academy, he claimed the government had achieved 90 percent success in fulfilling its responsibilities. He highlighted reforms, stability, and good governance as the administration’s top priorities.

Alam said the government repealed a controversial power sector law within a week to curb crony capitalism and wasteful spending. He reported improvements in economic indicators, noting foreign reserves had risen to 29 billion dollars, with a total of 34 billion, and the exchange rate stabilized at 123–124 taka per dollar. He also cited strong revenue growth, record food reserves, and new trade agreements with the United States and Japan. He added that no enforced disappearances or extrajudicial killings occurred in the past 18 months, and the media operated freely.

He concluded that through reform and stability, the government had successfully steered the country back on the right path.
