Bangladesh’s total foreign currency reserves have increased to $30.02 billion, according to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank. However, using the IMF’s BPM6 calculation method, which excludes short-term liabilities, the net reserve stands at $24.99 billion. The recent rise follows a payment of $2.02 billion to the Asian Clearing Union, which had temporarily reduced reserves earlier this month. Officials noted a gradual recovery over the past weeks. The BPM6 method is now the global standard for reporting accurate net reserves.
