Amid allegations of irregularities surrounding the gold kept by the customs in the central bank’s vault, the state minister for finance has said the government will look into the matter.

“We will look into what has happened there," said MA Mannan after an emergency meeting at the secretariat on Wednesday.

The meeting was called a day after the Prothom Alo reported the gold scam in the Bangladesh Bank vault citing an inspection by the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate or CID.

Fazle Kabir, Bangladesh Bank governor, Md Eunusur Rahman, secretary to the Bank and Financial Institutions Division, and Shahidul Islam, director general of CID, attended the meeting.
