The Bangladesh Bank refuted reports that red-colored Tk1,000 notes might be phased out as “rumours” on Wednesday. The central bank noted in a news release that no one should believe rumors on social media sites like Facebook regarding red Tk1,000 notes becoming invalid.
Earlier this month, there was chatter on Facebook about the note becoming obsolete after May 30th, which was picked up by a few media outlets.
Soon after, the Bangladesh Bank published a press release signed by GM Abul Kalam Azad, general manager of the bank’s communications and publications department.
