‘No scope to publish institutions’ list involved in militancy financing’

There is no scope of publishing the list of financial institutions involved with militancy financing, Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith has said.

Replying to a query, the finance minister on Monday told the parliament that there is a separate unit titled Bangladesh Bank Financial Intelligence Unit to stop money laundering.

“So, there is no scope of publishing the list of financial institutions involved in militancy financing,” said Muhith.

Bangladesh Bank Financial Intelligence Unit collects information from CTR (Cash Transaction Report) and STR (Suspicious Transaction Report) and examines those reports and submits the report to the law enforcing agencies and inspects physically if needed, he said.

The minister also said the unit submits report to the law enforcing agencies if they find any financial involvement with militancy.
