The interim government is seeking up to $8 billion in budget support from development partners, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to repay foreign liabilities and bolster foreign exchange reserves.
Moreover, it aims to secure immediate funds from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank for rehabilitation efforts in flood-affected areas.
According to a report of The Daily Star, a request for $300 million has already been submitted to the ADB, while a larger request is planned for the World Bank.
Of the total budget support, $3 billion is expected from the IMF, supplementing its existing $4.7 billion loan program.
The government will seek the remaining $5 billion from other partners like the World Bank, ADB, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
