An International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation has expressed its willingness to support Bangladesh in achieving long-term economic stability and sustainable growth.
The IMF team, led by Krishna Srinivasan, Director of the Asia and Pacific Department, visited Dhaka on 24–25 March. During the visit, the delegation held meetings with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, and Bangladesh Bank Governor Md Mostaqur Rahman, along with other senior policymakers.
In a statement issued from Washington, D.C., Srinivasan described the discussions as “productive,” focusing on the key economic and financial challenges facing Bangladesh.
He emphasized the importance of implementing ambitious policy measures and structural reforms to strengthen macroeconomic stability and support inclusive, job-oriented growth.
The IMF has reaffirmed its readiness to assist Bangladesh in advancing sustained stabilisation and economic development.
The Fund will continue discussions with Bangladeshi authorities during the upcoming IMF–World Bank Spring Meetings in April to determine the next steps for engagement under a potential IMF-supported programme.
