IMF board to consider approving Bangladesh support programme on Jan. 30

The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) executive board will consider approving a support programme for Bangladesh on January 30, IMF Deputy Managing Director Antoinette Sayeh said in a statement yesterday.

In November, the IMF provisionally agreed on a US $ 4.5 billion support programme for Bangladesh to help prevent economic instability escalating into a crisis in the South Asian country.
