Press coverage
Named in 7 articles since March 2015; number 135 among bodies in the last 12 months.
0 articles from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
Months with an article: September 2020 (1 article of 798), February 2022 (1 article of 863), June 2022 (1 article of 1,099), October 2022 (1 article of 1,110).
The total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.
