Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves currently stand at US$31.12 billion.

However, when calculated using the International Monetary Fund’s methodology under the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6), the reserve level stands at US$26.40 billion.

The revised figure was released today by the Bangladesh Bank, reflecting the difference between the traditional calculation and the IMF-aligned method.
