The finance minister made the remarks to reporters after having a meeting with representatives of World Bank at ministry’s office in city’s Sher-E-Bangla Nagar on Thursday (January 31).

Bangladesh has fulfilled the criteria to take loans. Therefore, everyone wants to give loans, the minister added.
