The interim government said the country got back "macroeconomic stabilisation" with declining inflation, growing exports and increased forex reserves but the government will continue its efforts to ensure further improvement in key areas.
"These are all indicators that show that our economy has made a turnaround," Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters at a media briefing at the Foreign Service Academy after a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Sunday.
He said the interim government did better than Sri Lanka in terms of containing inflation.
Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretaries Abul Kalam Azad Majumder and Apurba Jahangir, and Assistant Press Secretary Suchismita Tithi were also present at the briefing.
The meeting between the Chief Adviser and the key persons reviewed the economy and its efforts over the last six months.
"We need to do better," Press Secretary Alam quoted Dr Yunus as saying at the meeting. Dr Yunus directed all to continue efforts to take the improvement to a new height,” he said.
The Press Secretary said the inflation came down to single digit and it will further decline - by June it will be 7.5 percent.
Regarding the Korean EPZ, he said the dispute over land is resolved which will help bring big investors and create more employment in the country.
On Monday, Chief Adviser Prof Yunus directed the police and law enforcement agencies to create a command centre to intensively monitor the law-and-order situation in the country.
The Press Secretary said the Command Centre will roll out this evening which will coordinate among all the police and security agencies.
