updates: Bangladesh is facing a deepening reserve crisis as its foreign debt exceeds $100 billion and usable reserves stand at only $15.82 billion. The country's average monthly imports have increased by nearly $2 billion since 2021, leading to allegations of inflation and siphoning off dollars through over-invoicing. While the government's reserves are currently enough to meet import bills for two and a half months, there is a risk of reserves falling below this level within 6 to 9 months. The fall in remittance and foreign investment, along with high interest on foreign loans, has created a crisis in government-private external debt service. To address this, the government may have to sell bonds or gold if it cannot increase exports and remittance. Furthermore, the country's usable reserves may fall below $10 billion by the end of 2024, making it difficult to obtain new loans or suppliers' credit. In an effort to stem the fall of reserves, the government is forcefully buying dollars from commercial banks, but this is expected to deepen the slump in business, trade, production, and employment.
