IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva is set to hold a virtual meeting with Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser tomorrow evening to discuss future cooperation.

Bangladesh is currently under a $5.5 billion IMF loan program, with five installments already disbursed. In June, the IMF approved an additional $800 million for the country.

Earlier, the Chief Adviser had sent a letter thanking the IMF for supporting reform initiatives. In response, Georgieva pledged continued assistance for Bangladesh’s development. The IMF’s executive board first approved the $4.7 billion loan package on January 30, 2023.
