As journalists reported that the Governor of Bangladesh Bank (BB) told them that the actual reserves (usable) are now US$13 billion, the AL Secretary General said, “Then, it would be better if you ask the Governor how much this (reserves) is.” Why did it come so low? This is not what we know. As far as we know, reserves now stand between US$19-20 billion.
When reporters asked how they could question the Governor when they are not allowed inside the central bank, the Bridges Minister said, “Can anyone enter the Federal Bank of India at will? Why would anyone do that? Everything is given on the website. You (journalists) only want information, so why would you enter?”
