Following the interim government’s assumption of office, rumors about the cancellation of the Tk1,000 note have been spreading on social media. The Bangladesh Bank quickly issued a notice clarifying that these rumors were unfounded.
Addressing a journalist’s inquiry on the matter, Economic and Trade Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed stated, “There is no problem with how things are proceeding. The main authority on this matter is the Bangladesh Bank. If they have said otherwise, then there should be no further issue. It will continue as it is.”
He made these remarks after meeting separately with Chinese Ambassador Yao Wen and Canadian High Commissioner Lilly Nicholls at the Ministry of Finance.
