Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed on Sunday, April 6, said the International Monetary Fund, IMF, has expressed its satisfaction with the stability of Bangladesh’s economy.
IMF’s main focus is on increasing tax GDP ratio, stabilising foreign exchange reserves, and reducing budget deficit, he said.
The finance adviser shared this information while replying to questions from the journalists after a meeting with a delegation from the IMF at the Secretariat.
About the installment of IMF loan, he said the agency will pay the money of two tranches at once and now they will review it.
Basically, IMF’s concerns are revenue generation, and budget size and deficit, and these have been discussed for now, Salehuddin said.
The National Board of Revenue, NBR, will talk in details with IMF in this regard and the Bangladesh Bank will talk on loan resolution, he added.
