The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has offered an additional $1 billion to Bangladesh but the government is pushing for at least $2 billion to implement the interim government’s reform agenda, narrow the deficit in the current account and shore up the dollar stockpile.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) yesterday suggested that banks in Bangladesh should quicken the implementation of market-driven exchange rates as it would help alleviate the ongoing foreign currency crisis.
Bangladesh has requested the visiting International Monetary Fund staff mission to revise down some of the targets as the existing numbers are not achievable in the present context.
Bangladesh Bank introduced a new formula in June to determine the lending interest rate and brought about a single exchange rate recently but both are yet to be determined by the open market, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.

The government is on track to meeting the International Monetary Fund’s tax collection target for March but may miss the mark in June.
