From Nobel Peace to Internal Strife — Yunus’s Economic Missteps

Despite a reputation for microfinance innovation, Yunus’s economic governance as interim leader has triggered alarm bells.



📉 Financial Instability

  • Food inflation over 14%

  • Overall inflation over 11%

  • Taka devalued sharply against the USD

  • Garment industry—the economic backbone—faces canceled orders and export delays

💰 Donor Fatigue

Key development partners, including the U.S., EU, and UN, have reduced aid or suspended disbursements:

  • The Rohingya refugee crisis remains grossly underfunded

  • A major World Bank sanitation project has been paused

  • USAID officials warned of “uncertain governance and unaccountable leadership”

🧾 Institutional Interference

Yunus dissolved the National Board of Revenue, pushed mass retirements of bureaucrats, and restructured state-owned banks—moves seen as both chaotic and nepotistic.
