An average of USD 16 billion was illicitly siphoned from Bangladesh every year during Sheikh Hasina’s corrupt autocracy, leaving the country in a state of plunder when she fled following a popular mass uprising, according to the White Paper on the state of the economy.
The White Paper Committee submitted its final report to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka on Sunday, expressing shock at the level of corruption, plunder, and statistical manipulation conducted by Hasina’s regime, as stated in a message posted on the Chief Adviser’s official Facebook page.
Eminent economist Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, the chair of the committee, led the delegation during the report submission ceremony held at the Chief Adviser’s office in Tejgaon.
