The current government has paid off $2.05 billion in loans left behind by the ousted Ms. Sheikh Hasina administration, according to the Chief Whip of the Jatiya Sangsad, Mr. Nurul Islam Moni. He stated that the government cleared this $2.05 billion debt over the past five months.

The Chief Whip shared this information during a press conference on Friday at the Jatiya Sangsad Media Center. The press conference was organized regarding the third session of the national parliament, which concluded on Thursday. During the third session of parliament, 6 bills were passed, 124 notices were discussed, and 1,678 questions were addressed, according to Chief Whip Mr. Nurul Islam Moni.
