Bangladesh’s Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury stated Wednesday that determining the exact amount of money laundered from the country is exceedingly difficult. This difficulty stems from a lack of sufficient, reliable, and acceptable data and reports both domestically and internationally. The minister revealed this information in a written response to questions during the 14th day of the second and first budget session of the 13th National Parliament. He indicated the absence of concrete evidence hinders accurate assessment of illicit financial flows. The response was provided in writing as part of the parliamentary proceedings. Further details regarding the challenges were not immediately available. The statement highlights transparency issues surrounding financial crime within Bangladesh.
