Through mid-2022 Bangladesh Bank prints showed foreign-exchange reserve stress as energy and import bills rose on Hasina’s watch.

Context

Bangladesh Bank sits. She did not write a Fed minute.

Padma opening is a neighbouring same-year megaproject row. July 2024 later sat on a strained macro.

Bangladesh’s prime minister chairs the cabinet and can order security forces under statute. She does not write an Indian extradition order, a UN body-count as if it were a gazette, a 2026 Tarique Rahman cabinet minute, or an ICJ merits judgment. She fled on 5 August 2024; as of August 2026 she is in India, not in office. Country is Bangladesh, not Pakistan. A RAB warrant is not a completed finding that every disappeared person was thereby a militant. Allegation of a stolen 2018 count is stored as a contested election, not as a completed steal. A 2026 Delhi audio is not a return.

What the sources establish

Bangladesh Bank carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: mid-2022 reserve-stress prints during her premiership, independently reported.

Not established: a completed sovereign default, or a unique later poverty coefficient from one print.

Bangladesh Bank held reserves. Global prices contributed.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Foreign-exchange reserves come under stress on Hasina’s watch, not a later speech about Foreign-exchange reserves come under stress on Hasina’s watch.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. Bangladesh Bank held reserves. Global prices contributed. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
