Abstract

Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been forced to step down and flee the country after weeks of protests and a brutal crackdown that resulted in several hundred deaths. Nobel Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus, who was previously facing politically motivated charges, has stepped into the leadership vacuum. The student-led uprising and Hasina's downfall have raised questions about the future of Bangladesh's economy, which has been seen as a promising success story in the region. The interim government led by Yunus will need to restore confidence in the country and address security concerns to ensure stability and attract foreign investment. [Extracted from the article]
