The economy has been under pressure for several years. The dollar-crisis and the rise in the value of the dollar have increased the cost of production. The banking sector became fragile due to irregularities, corruption and looting. In such a situation, the government was changed in a mass coup by the students. In addition to attacks on various industries, incidents of arson also occurred. Again, within a month of the new interim government taking over, labor protests broke out in various industrial areas including Savar, Ashulia, Gazipur, Narsingdi. In such a situation, anxiety has arisen among the industrialists of the country. Shaukat Aziz Russell, President of Textile Mill Owners Association BTMA, spoke about this.
