During the meeting, Yunus emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “Everything needs to be done as quickly as possible.” He detailed the government’s plans to address systemic issues by establishing six commissions focused on reforming the judiciary, election system, administration, police, anti-corruption commission, and the constitution.

These commissions are part of a broader strategy to revitalize Bangladesh’s institutions and governance structures. The ADB’s support comes as a crucial boost to the interim government’s efforts to navigate the country through its current crisis and initiate essential changes.
