The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected that Bangladesh will see an increase in dollar inflows during the current fiscal year, which is expected to ease pressure on the country’s current account deficit. According to the IMF, the growing size of the country’s GDP will contribute to an improvement in foreign currency inflows, helping to narrow the deficit in external accounts.

The report also notes that this improvement trend may continue into the next fiscal year, with the deficit likely remaining stable. Due to a dollar crisis, Bangladesh’s current account deficit had previously surged to 4% of GDP in the 2021–22 fiscal year. However, it decreased to 2.6% in 2022–23, and further declined to just 1.4% of GDP in the 2023–24 fiscal year.
