Despite nearly $9 billion in increased remittance and export income, Bangladesh’s foreign reserves have hovered around $20 billion for 11 months. Declines in foreign direct investment, aid, and long-term loans, alongside higher import and debt repayment costs, offset the gains. The dollar crisis has eased, but reserves haven’t grown. Experts stress the need for political stability and investment-friendly policies to boost reserves. Bangladesh Bank expects a $3 billion rise in June with anticipated foreign loan inflows from global institutions like the IMF and World Bank.

Foreign Reserves Hover Around $20 Billion for 11 Consecutive Months

Remittances and export earnings are the two main sources of Bangladesh’s foreign currency income. Both sectors have experienced significant growth in the current fiscal year. Remittances have grown by nearly 28%, while export income has increased by around 10%. However, this high growth in the two main sectors has not been enough to boost the country’s foreign exchange reserves. For the past 11 months, Bangladesh Bank’s reserves have remained stuck around the $20 billion mark.
