DHAKA, Dec 15, 2025 (BSS)- Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed today expressed satisfaction  over the country’s overall macroeconomic situation during the incumbent interim government.

“We’re satisfied with the overall macroeconomic condition. It’s not just my personal opinion, many say the same,” he said.

The Finance Adviser was briefing reporters after chairing two separate meetings on the Advisers Council Committee on Economic Affairs and the Advisers Council Committee on Government Purchase at the Cabinet Division Conference Room at Bangladesh Secretariat today.

Dr Salehuddin said that this assessment was not only his view alone but also a consensus shared by many stakeholders.

However, he acknowledged that there are areas where the situation is “not entirely satisfactory” and that some weaknesses are evident at the micro level.

Dr Salehuddin noted that it was unrealistic to expect all sectors of the economy to perform well at the same time in any country.

“There is no country in the world where every sector runs very well simultaneously. That is simply not possible,” he said.

He explained that economic performance largely depends on the effective use of capital and the performance of various stakeholders across sectors.

He said monitoring and ensuring accountability among these stakeholders is a critical but shared responsibility.

“The economy does not function on its own. Much of the capital depends on how different stakeholders perform and how effectively they are monitored,” he said, adding that the government alone cannot exercise complete control over all aspects of the economy.

“I can’t control everything sitting in the Ministry. That is not possible,” he said stressing the need for collective efforts and coordinated performance across institutions and sectors to sustain economic stability and growth.
