Nothing will happen as terrible as we are afraid of: Minister of Finance

Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said that the government is ready to face all the challenges in the prevention of corona infection, adding that nothing as terrible as we are afraid of will happen.

He was speaking to reporters after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs and Government Procurement on Sunday (January 23rd) at noon. The meeting was held virtually under the chairmanship of the Finance Minister.

Asked what kind of pressure could come from corona restrictions and how to prepare, he said, "Our social safety net is always wide, we are always ready to face all the challenges." That is why we think that as much as we are afraid, nothing terrible will happen. We will be able to deal with it the way we have dealt with it before.

At the FBCCI event, traders complained that they did not receive proper incentives. In this regard, the Finance Minister said, for those we have given the incentives, they will definitely get it. Even if there is a delay, it will not be canceled. Because there is no cancellation system. They will get it if they fulfill the condition we have given. I think there is a misunderstanding here, maybe there is a reason. I will say again, if there is any such complaint, I will be able to see more if you give it to me and I will be able to give you a good answer.
