Muhith: Black money could spread ahead of elections

Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith has said that the distribution of black money could be rampant before the general elections. He said the above on Sunday during a business summit organized by Rupali Bank at Osmani Memorial Auditorium. He was present at the event as the chief guest. To stop the dissemination of black money before the elections, banks need to be very careful while distributing money, he said. The minister also said: “There will always be criticism about the banking sector. People criticize us for providing state-owned banks with capital from the budget. They can continue with their criticism, but the budget will always provide capital to state-owned banks.” State Minister for Finance and Planning Mohammad Abdul Mannan and Rupali Bank top officials were also present during the programme.This article was first published on banglatribune.com
