Johanna Kao, Senior Director for Asia-Pacific at IRI, noted that the findings clearly indicate that people see “a path of progress” under Dr. Yunus’s leadership. According to her, the public trust in him and the interim government reflects widespread expectations for stability, accountability, and meaningful reforms.
