NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Political turmoil in Bangladesh is likely to slow planned financial reforms and has already added to weakness in the country's banking sector, S&P Global Ratings said on Wednesday.
Prime minister Sheikh Hasina quit and fled to neighbouring India last week after student-led protests against her spiralled into some of the worst violence in the country since its 1971 independence from Pakistan, killing about 300 people and injuring thousands.
