Dhaka: Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves stood at $35.31 billion, according to the latest data released by the Bangladesh Bank (BB) today. The figures were made public as part of the central bank’s regular updates on the country’s monetary state.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the central bank stated that under the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM-6) accounting standard, the country’s reserves were recorded at $30.62 billion. This discrepancy highlights the variance in accounting standards and its impact on the reporting of reserve figures.
Officials noted that the reserve position reflects the country’s external sector stability amid ongoing global economic uncertainties. The current reserve level is a critical indicator of Bangladesh’s ability to manage external shocks and maintain economic stability in a volatile international market.
