Forex reserves cross $33b
Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves have crossed the $33 billion mark, according to the Bangladesh Bank.
Based on Bangladesh Bank's import data for April, the current reserves are sufficient to cover nearly five months of import payments.
However, the reserves are expected to decline slightly next week when Bangladesh settles its import bill with the Asian Clearing Union (ACU).
Bangladesh Bank spokesperson Arief Hossain Khan said the country's BPM6-compliant reserves stood at $33.01 billion on 2 July, up from $32.90 billion on 30 June.
The reserves first crossed $31 billion, reaching $31.07 billion on Jun 14, helped by strong remittance inflows and the disbursement of a $1 billion budget support loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
