The Universal Pension Scheme has seen a dramatic collapse in momentum following the fall of the Awami League government, with new registrations effectively drying up over the last 20 months.

Data presented at a government meeting on Tuesday showed that while the scheme attracted 372,401 subscribers during its first year of operation, that number has grown by a mere 5,144 in the nearly two years since.
