The governor said, the central bank is responsible for the security of everyone’s deposits. Our main goal is to return everyone’s deposits. Various measures are being taken for this. Banks will be supported. But that is not a child. They asked for lollipop, and we gave it to them. It will not be like this. The money will be given after all the calculations are done.
