The Interim government has published a book describing key reform initiatives it undertook.
Spanning more than 300 pages, the document details legal, policy, and structural reforms across nine major sectors, including the judiciary, healthcare, banking, energy, law enforcement, labour, digital rights, and social protection.
Sharing the news of the publication with a link to the book, the Chief Adviser issued a statement posted on his official Facebook page saying, “In the eighteen months since assuming responsibility, it (the Interim Government) has enacted approximately 130 laws (comprising new laws and mending laws) and taken over 600 executive decisions, reflecting the urgency of institutional reform and reconstruction.
“Roughly 84% of these measures have already been implemented, reflecting genuine and tangible reform, rather than rhetorical and cosmetic change.”
Major progress has been achieved across the economy and foreign relations, the CA said.
“New trade agreements have diversified partnerships and reduced overdependence on single markets, including an Economic Partnership Agreement with Japan granting duty-free access to about 7,400 Bangladeshi products. Strategic cooperation with China has extended loan maturities, supported major healthcare infrastructure, and improved flood forecasting through shared hydrological data.
“Negotiations with the United States reduced reciprocal tariffs from 37% to 20%, preserving access to the world’s richest economy. Diplomatic relations with key partners have been improved, and relations with India have been recalibrated on a more balanced and respectful footing,” the CA added.
He also mentioned that anti-corruption cases have been filed against hundreds of politicians and officials that served under the fallen regime, with billions of dollars in assets frozen or confiscated.
The book outlines how banking reforms have introduced real oversight, procurement transparency has been expanded across 42 ministries, and the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics has been granted full autonomy to report economic data.
