The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reaffirmed that it will continue to work closely with the authorities to advance Bangladesh’s reform agenda. The agenda aims to ensure macroeconomic stability, promote job creation, strengthen institutions, and foster strong, sustainable, and equitable growth.
“We welcome the authorities’ renewed commitment to implementing the reforms under the IMF-supported programme. Discussions on how to proceed with programme reviews will continue during the upcoming 2024 IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings,” said IMF Mission Chief for Bangladesh Chris Papageorgiou in a press statement.
The IMF mission team, led by Chris Papageorgiou, visited Dhaka from September 24 to 30 to discuss recent developments and the authorities’ reform priorities.
In the statement, Papageorgiou expressed deep sadness for the loss of lives and injuries during the recent public uprising and stood in solidarity with the people of Bangladesh during these difficult times.
