IMF delegation due today
A high-level delegation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka today for a five-day crucial visit to assess the feasibility of a fresh loan package worth nearly $4.5 billion proposed by the government.
According to Ministry of Finance sources, the IMF delegation will hold a series of meetings with the Ministry of Finance, Bangladesh Bank, the National Revenue Board (NRB), and other relevant stakeholders.
During the mission, which runs through 16 July, the delegation, led by IMF Bangladesh Mission Chief Ivo Krznar, will assess the government's economic reform agenda, policy priorities and the current macroeconomic situation.
The government hopes to secure a loan of $4 billion to $4.5 billion from the IMF under the new program for a period of three years.
The funds are planned to be used to maintain macroeconomic stability, address pressures on external financing, and advance economic reforms.
