Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has declared there is "a lot of work to be done" in Bangladesh, as he arrived in the country to take over as interim leader.

"People are excited," the 84-year-old told the BBC moments after flying into the capital Dhaka from France on Thursday. He will be sworn in later.

Just bought a few @ 3.59p

Well, I for one greatly value all the work that Searcher and all others put in and wouldn't want to lose it. Just a case of filtering out those who do not have anything useful to say positive or negative. So keep going guys, we need you.

Just bought a few @ 5.95p. Nice.

"Petrobangla Chairman Zanendra Nath Sorkar told The Daily Messenger, “We cannot supply gas and LNG as per the demand as gas production is depleting fast. So, the government has to deploy the coal-based plants.”

"Too much footage of open pit mining for it not to be about Phulbari. "

Having looked at the video in full you just have to agree with this. Well done Searcher for this research.

"Private research organisation Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) said 41 per cent of production capacity was sitting idle last year. This year too, there will be no option but to keep almost half of the power generation capacity idle.

According to PDB data, the supply of coal, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and fuel oil (diesel, furnace oil) for power generation remains uncertain."

" At the time the local people were against it. Now with proper compensation being offered the people want it. I think the negative mindset about Phulbari is not there anymore."

"We are more confident than we have been in recent years that we are getting closer to a political breakthrough for the Phulbari Coal and Power Project. When this happens, we are ready to deliver the benefits and investment returns that our patient shareholders deserve. " So it is "WHEN" not "IF" or am I being pedantic?

Mine readily available to go is very important here.

Could Delek be involved here? They were involved with Ithaca deal I think. Just asking.

Or is it a question of government official's bank balances? Just asking.

Hasina has been in power for 14 years. Change of government or change of leader (who is already 75 years old) either could be possible if things continue like they are.

If things continue to deteriorate there could be changes earlier than the next election.

There is to be a meeting of National Council of Hasina's Awami League on 24th December. Wonder is anything may come out of this. Last meeting I think was Dec 2019 so a lot of water under the bridge since then.

Good research Searcher. Thanks.

6.92p now

They will pay 6.73p for all of mine.

$1.46 billion surely, not $1.46m.

WUM.
