Jamaat will neither engage in corruption nor allow it: Ameer
DHAKA, Dec 9, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman today said his party will neither engage in corruption nor allow it in any form while outlining key conditions for Jamaat's participation in a national government if given the responsibility to serve the nation. Speaking at a views-exchange meeting with distinguished residents of Purba Kafrul under Dhaka-15 constituency, he said, "Jamaat will join the national government only if there is no corruption, no interference in the judiciary, and governance is in accordance with the July Charter." He added Jamaat is open to forming a national government with all political stakeholders, including those who have expressed the intention of forming a government without Jamaat. However, he made it clear that these conditions must be met for any collaboration. Dr Shafiqur emphasized that only those who accept these conditions will be allowed to be part of the national government envisioned by Jamaat. The meeting was attended by Dhaka North Jamaat Nayeeb-e-Ameer Abdur Rahman Musa, Assistant Secretary Dr Fakhruddin Manik and other party leaders.

Global trade set to top $35 trillion in 2025: UN
Global trade set to top $35 trillion in 2025: UN
GENEVA, Dec 10, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Global trade in 2025 is set to surge past $35 trillion for the first time, but the outlook for 2026 is more subdued, the United Nations said Tuesday. The assessment by the UN trade and development agency UNCTAD said east Asia and Africa drove global trade in 2025, while US imports stayed strong and Chinese imports lagged. If current projections hold, global trade in 2025 will exceed $35 trillion, an increase of around $2.2 trillion -- roughly seven percent -- compared to 2024, it said in its final update of the year. Of that $2.2 trillion rise, goods contribute around $1.5 trillion, up six percent on last year, while service accounts for around $750 billion, up nearly nine percent. "Trade continued expanding through the second half of 2025, even as geopolitical tensions, higher costs and uneven global demand slowed momentum," the agency said. It said global trade growth slowed in the third quarter of 2025, but remained up 2.5 percent on April to June. However, uncertainty is shaping the outlook for next year, it said. "Looking to 2026, UNCTAD expects weaker growth as slower global activity, rising debt, higher trade costs and persistent uncertainty weigh on performance," it said. Geopolitical fragmentation and heightened vulnerability are also likely to weigh on trade activity, it added. UNCTAD said manufacturing grew 10 percent over the last four quarters compared to the previous four, led by electronics linked to artificial intelligence-related demand. Meanwhile automotive trade fell by four percent.
