The partnership is currently focused on negotiating a successor IMF programme that balances financial support with stringent structural reforms for banking and fiscal sectors.
Finance Minister and IMF Deputy Managing Director agreed to begin work on a new three-year reform programme.
IMF confirmed receipt of a request from Bangladesh for a new financial arrangement to address banking and revenue challenges.
Government prepared for an upcoming IMF delegation visit to begin formal negotiations on a new loan programme.
Bangladesh's ECF/EFF/RSF arrangements were approved 30 January 2023: SDR 2.5 billion (about $3.3 billion) under ECF/EFF and SDR 1 billion (about $1.4 billion) under RSF, total about $4.7 billion; subsequently augmented during the combined 3rd/4th reviews (ECF/EFF total raised to SDR 3,035.65 million, about $4.1 billion, alongside the RSF). Maxym Kryshko is the IMF Resident Representative in Dhaka. Financial fields (cumulative/portfolio/annual disbursement) left null: IMF lending is a discrete arrangement rather than an annual donor portfolio, and the exact drawn/outstanding figure was not confirmed against a single official statement here.
