Yunus’ Bangladesh In Economic Freefall

Bangladesh once wore the badge of “next Asia growth story.” However, after the so-called student revolution, the Islamist interim government under Muhammad Yunus made the nation the world’s biggest joke, second only to Pakistan.

Recent news reports that Bangladesh is now the co-owner of the badge for “crisis country.” The banking system is creaking, industries are shutting, and the overall economy is careening toward collapse! Why? Because hardliners and radicals alone are unable to manage the economy of this small nation’s leaky boat.

Bangladesh – Old Wounds, New Blunders

Bangladesh faced its fair share of natural disasters: recurring summer droughts, cyclones, monsoon floods swamping low-lying regions, and the enormous infrastructure damage that follows. However, such natural disasters are common and repeatedly test the state’s capacity or endurance. So, what’s different under Yunus? A government that hasn’t just failed to repair the damage, it seems to be doubling down on the neglect.

• The interim regime run economy stands battered by floods and export slowdowns, yet its policy reaction has been sluggish.
• Investment in capital machinery shrank by about 25.4% in FY 2024-25, a red flag for future industrial capacity.
• The capital market has gone into dormancy; not one major IPO has sailed since Yunus took office.
• Those natural disasters plus structural issues should have been stabilized. However, instead, the banking sector turned into a casualty.

The result is that Bangladesh’s old wounds are now bleeding afresh. But instead of bandages, Yunus has deployed radicals to gag the media and bury the hatchet!

Bangladesh’s Banking Sector in Meltdown

The heart of any economy is its financial system, and in Bangladesh, the arteries are clogged! The Nobel Laureate for Economics, Soros puppet Muhammed Yunus, and his interim government are tinkering with the bedside monitor rather than restarting the heart.

• In 24 of the 61 scheduled banks, the capital shortfall has ballooned to over Tk 1.55 lakh crore (approximately US $17 billion) during the April–June quarter.
• Non-performing loans (NPLs) are rising rapidly. The Eurasia Review states the ratio is already above 20%, and financial analysts warn of 25-30% or more unless urgent reforms arrive.
• Imports of capital machinery are down over 25%, demonstrating that investment and growth are stalling.
• The central bank has hired audit firms to probe US$17 billion lost to bank fraud. It seems the Yunus regime has a lot to answer for!

In short, the financial system isn’t just shaky. The very foundation of the economy is collapsing with every bad policy decision! Meanwhile, Student Advisors are fanning the flames of Hindu genocide in the nation!

And while disasters happen, what’s unforgivable is that Yunus’s “student advisors” are failing to fix the leaks that shall soon drown the boat of Bangladesh’s economy.

The Beginning Of The End – Industries Shut, Jobs Gone, Hope Fading

It’s one thing to stumble; it’s another to lie down and let the fall become a free-fall. Under Yunus’s watch, Bangladesh is seeing both.

• Over 60,000 workers lost their jobs in the nine months following August 2024, and many factories shut permanently in textiles and apparel. The country’s garment lifeline has run dry under the Yunus regime.
• Youth unemployment is rising. Educated graduates face an invisible storm with no jobs, no promise, no future.
• Inflation is surging in Bangladesh – food inflation hit around 14%, general inflation above 11% in late 2024 under Yunus’s interim government.

The irony is bitter: Bangladesh once boasted “growth miracle” status. Today, the nation faces needles flexing by the Jamaat against India and disappearing funds from its banks! Yunus arrived promising reform and renewal. Instead, the economy’s symptoms are worsening, and the prescriptions remain vague.

Muhammad Yunus may be a Nobel laureate, but his policies don’t balance bank books. Natural disasters tested Bangladesh before; the nation did not topple. However, Bangladesh faces a crisis under the Yunus regime’s internal failure – financial rot, policy paralysis, and leadership indecision.

Bangladesh’s economy isn’t just in trouble – it’s crying for help.

The anti-minority and anti-india Jamaat and its slogans are pushing Bangladesh deeper into irrepariable social and economic ruin.
