The interim government of Bangladesh has declared itself 90 percent successful in fulfilling its responsibilities, according to Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam. Speaking at a briefing following an advisory council meeting chaired by Dr. Muhammad Yunus in Tejgaon, he said the government’s main goals were reform, stability, and good governance. The meeting also adopted a motion of thanks for the peaceful and festive completion of the national election and referendum.

The press secretary detailed that the government took charge amid a fragile economy and instability but restored peace and order. He cited improvements in economic indicators, including a rise in foreign reserves to 29 billion dollars and stabilization of the exchange rate. The government repealed a controversial power sector law, introduced energy reforms, and reported positive revenue growth. Food reserves were said to be at their highest, ensuring six months of import coverage.

He further noted progress in foreign relations, including reciprocal tariff and economic partnership agreements with the United States and Japan. The government also claimed advances in law and order, asserting no enforced disappearances or extrajudicial killings in the past 18 months and full media freedom.
