How Bangladesh’s Economy Was Siphoned Dry
  + stars: | 2024-12-04 | by ( Alex Travelli | Shayeza Walid | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The new governor of Bangladesh’s central bank, Ahsan Mansur, calculates that about $17 billion was siphoned from the country’s financial system in the 15 years before the government of Sheikh Hasina collapsed in August. Other economists guess that the true value looted during Ms. Hasina’s rule, before she fled the country, could exceed $30 billion. And they did incalculable damage to Bangladesh’s economy. “The highest level of political authority realized that the banks are the best place to rob,” said Mr. Mansur, an appointee of an interim government in Bangladesh. For an inside job, that meant taking control of the central bank and the ownership of a clutch of private banks and their boards of directors.

CNN —Montana lawmakers, including several Republicans, voted down a measure to ban the state’s first transgender legislator from using women’s restrooms at the State Capitol Tuesday. Democratic state Rep. Zooey Zephyr, who was first elected in 2022, applauded the legislators who voted against the bathroom ban in a post to social media. All Democrats, as well as several Republicans, voted against the measure. Republican state Rep. David Bedey, who did not support the bathroom ban, said while he has his own views on “the issue of gender dysphoria and how widespread it is,” he thought the measure was a distraction. The proposed bathroom ban in Montana follows an effort by national Republicans to ban Democratic Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, the first out transgender woman elected to Congress, from using women’s bathrooms in the US Capitol.

The French government is on the brink of collapse and investors are gearing up for a volatile week of trading, with some eyeing opportunities amid the chaos. The Oat - Bund spread, as the two respective sovereign bonds are known, shows the negative sentiment investors have toward French government bonds relative to German government bonds. It comes after Barnier said he would force through cuts in social security, to lower the government's 6% budget deficit, without a vote. If the recently appointed government is toppled, Barnier would be the shortest-serving prime minister in France's modern history. "They're agents of chaos for little political end," Everett added.
