Bangladesh is in talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for an emergency financial assistance package to address economic disruptions caused by the United States and Israel’s attacks on Iran. According to AFP, the request follows rising global oil prices linked to the conflict. In March, Dhaka officials said the country was seeking about 2 billion US dollars from global lenders to manage risks stemming from the Iran war.
IMF representative Ivo Krznar stated that discussions are underway regarding Bangladesh’s reform agenda and policy priorities. The requested support would come through the Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI), a mechanism that provides quick, low-conditionality funding to member states facing crises such as wars, pandemics, or commodity price shocks. Bangladesh previously received 732 million dollars from the IMF during the COVID-19 pandemic, including 244 million under the RFI.
Bangladesh’s ongoing 5.5 billion dollar IMF loan program began in January 2023 and was expanded in June 2025. The country has so far received 3.64 billion dollars in five tranches, with the sixth installment of 1.3 billion still pending.
