Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves have stood at US$26.79 billion, according to a press release of Bangladesh Bank on Sunday.
But, as per the International Monetary Fund (IMF) methodology under the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6), Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves stood at $21.43 billion, BSS reports.
Two weeks ago, Bangladesh’s gross foreign exchange reserves reached $26.15 billion.
The gross reserve, which reflects the total stock of foreign currency holdings, is one of the key indicators of a country's economic stability.
Bangladesh Bank has confirmed that the figure has remained steady amidst ongoing economic adjustments and policy reforms.
The IMF recently hailed Bangladesh for achieving a net reserve level exceeding $16 billion, a critical benchmark for releasing the next tranche of the $4.7 billion loan programme.
